Sorry,I didn't post a thread for this one.
A friend of a friend asked me to get the bike running , and give it a good clean up.
The BSA had been off the road for the last 7 years, and wasn't in great condition.
I spent a long time cleaning and polishing, changed the plugs, air filters, changed the oil, stripped the carbs, and fitted some new Avon tyres.
A few new parts were fitted, bars, fork gaiters, footrest rubbers, grab rail, and made a new front number plate. The owner had bought a new tank and side panels many years ago, so these were also cleaned up and decals fitted.
The bike passed it's MOT, and is now back on the road.
My only regret is trying to seal the fibreglass tank. I followed the instructions to the letter, but within 4 days of adding fuel the sealant started to lift off.
