BSA update for France ride #Southsiders

Been fine tuning a few things on the BSA to prepare for an mot, and for riding to the wheels and waves event in France. The Bike worked fine for the year, then lot's of things collapsed just in time for the mot. Front forks were a fail, bearings fail, on top of that the clutch said goodbye, fuel leaks, footrest swivel, and some other stuff. Managed to fix the lot, and create some light mounts and install a dynamo. Lights not sorted Yet but thats next on the list.
 Ghetto bike lift
 Epic fail, no damage


 Mocked up in a spare set of yokes.
 Got a vintage bulb from Taillight king

Here's a link to the post I did about this impossible team project a while back. Here are some pictures of the Triumph that is going to Bonneville. It was painted up by Ornamental Conifer (I did the oil tank) Here's a picture of the nose cone by OC. Also a picture of the T shirt I did for the project. Buy the shirt here to support the project.


ESMC Baula

I look forward to seeing this thing finished. Going to be insane. Its El Solitario mc in the house. The BMW R75 project 'Baula'
