Yikes! Someone mentions a 'Bantam' on an A7/A10 forum! *eek*

Edit: Relax Steve! Just a little harmless fun... The Bantam was a very successful bike having sold countless thousands in its heyday, you shouldn't have any problem in finding parts. Many of us have ridden them, no complaints about them from my perspective.  *smile*

"LJ" ,
Take it off if it doesnt suit You ?
Forgot to mention I have some rare A10 / A7 spares Id have been willing to swap ?
There are plenty more posts asking about none A10 / A7 items ?
Also noticed on Your avatar / descriptor You mention having other none A10 /A7 machines .

They only sold in thousands because of tight wads who didn't buy a C11 instead!

G'day Stephen,
I used to have the Bantam sickness, they're good little
bikes but not cheap to restore. There are 2 types of head
for the D1, small fin & big fin type, sounds like Terry might
have this covered for you though,
One of my D1 restorations below,
