HI all,
Just collected my new winter project, a 54 A10 golden flash plunger.
It's not my first rodeo but my first ever brit bike and I'm proper looking forward to it.
Started stripping bits today.
I will surely need help as I proceed and look forward to receiving invaluable àdvice from you guys.

G'day MAF  *welcome*
Wow that's a nice looking first British project. To my eye (only got 1) she doesn't need much.
All the help you need is right here and remember there's no such thing as a stupid question.
Going by your email address you've had BMW's.
Cheers

Yes the bike is nice over all, but there is work needed.
In my experience there always will be.
But that’s what it’s all about for most as long as it’s not critical stuff

I had to have a close look at the pictures to see if that is my old girl. Where did you get it?
