hi,
just saying hello, just joined this forum.well my bike is a 61 a7 on a 64 plate and the crank cases seem to be 57 , if i have checked the numbers correctly.
My father brought the bike in running condition in the early eighties when i brought my first new bike a suzuki ts250er,just to relive his early biker days.he rode it for a while until the mot was due.it failed on a few things ,the main one being the swinging arm bushes.he tried to remove them with many blows with a large hammer,but got nowhere !.it was then left rusting away in the shed
Ten years or so later i swapped it with him for a running suzuki x7 ,by this time the bsa was in a very sorry state, so i thought i would have ago at repairing it.but along came a wife then 3 kids and the bsa sat in my shed under a rug .
Now about 18 months ago i started to restore the poor old bsa,and yes those swinging arm bushes were a tad difficult to remove (trying not to use any swear words!)
So almost 30 years later its now almost finished,just hope it passes it mot.
I would post pics ,but not sure how to reduce the jpeg file size ,when i find out ,or somebody tells me how will post pics.
cheers rob
