I have recently found and joined this forum, i would like to share my project a 1950? Bsa Bantam bobber
The project started with a pile of bits left over from a mates resto consisting of 2 frames one cut off and missing the head stem, 1 x fuel tank in bad shape but rust free, 1 x rear guard missing the last 4- 6" at the back, bars, a set of rear plungers, seat frame, exhaust inc fishtail muffler and a few brake and engine bits which i gave to my brother for his bantam resto project,
fuel tank had been smashed pretty well!
rear guard pre bobbed!
i was going to drop in 1984 Honda Xr 250 motor that my brother had in his shed, and started repairing the cracked head, a another work mate seen what i was doing and offered me a "old bike" the farmer had left in his shed when he had bought his farm 12 years ago!
turns out it was this little gem
with some fresh fuel in the tank she fired up second kick!, we rode it our around our paddock for a while my 3 year ld daughter loves it and would not let me go a single day without taking her for a few laps!, and was horrifed that dad wanted to pull it apart!, luck has it a flat rear tyre was enough to convince her it was broken!
