Paint idea #1

BSA Photo Shooting

I decided to take some time today, get out of the workshop and enjoy what may be the last good weather of the year before winter comes. I've been doing lots of small thinks on the BSA over the last few weeks, last night I decided to out her together so I can start planning the paint scheme. Here's my "blank canvas" .....just add paint.....

It would look cool to drop her down this low but I don't think it'd be so comfortable to drive!

Time on the computer is dangerous....and expensive

I got lucky on another deal today, 45’ springer fork with outboard rockers (WLC Type) with fits nicely with the star hubs and brakes :o))), now I just have to drive to Bern (Switzerland) to pick it up....then get rid of the chrome and paint it black!!

45' parts update

Floor board, foot controls, lights horn, fender, battery box, primary cover etc etc etc :o))))))

Got luck this week on Ricardo (swiss version of Ebay) and scoped all these parts for not so much!

Couldn't even buy 2 repo fenders for the price I paid for everyting :o)

Progress report

Last week I was working on the rear fender and the support bars along with the rear light set up. Managed to get it all welded up on Friday evening which meant the weekend was free for other jobs!

My neighbour (who is also a keen biker) stopped by my place on Saturday to see how I was getting on with my BSA project and he asked a good question.......what are you going to do with the exhaust system? After he left to start work on his bike I decide to try mocking up the pipe, so I fired up the welding machine and got to work.........here is the results I’m please with my weekends work.Road legal....may be.....well may be not......anyway job done ;o)

Road Legal and ready to go

Yesterday I received some documents from Piaggio to try and help me to get my PAV trailer on the road and guess what it worked, well worth the money and thanks to both Pino & Romano for the Italian help!!!! I now have a full MFK (MOT) on both the trailer and also the vespa which means no more avoiding the police.....she's fully road worthy, legal & “Veteranenfahrzeugs”.

Today is a good day :o)
