I have a set for the early 60's model. Is that what you're looking for?

Re: 1962 BSA DBD34 Gold Star restoration (Speedometer is restored) I saw 2 of these restored at the Wichita Ks. vintage motorcycle club show today.

Just in case anyone is interested, my CL160 is for sale. The build thread is under restorations. $3000. http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=29667.0

A short video with the snuffornots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RV2sro2Npc&feature=plcp&context=C3deb210UDOEgsToPDskLPVRoTRZScckmh_Jwhqf32

I guess you can send it to me and I'll prep it and paint it some wild color and send it to you. ;D

I don't know what size your valve stems are but in the past I've used an automotive seal that the id was correct and trimmed the od if necessary. If your valve guides are in spec on the intakes, this won't be a problem if you can't find anything. They are not needed on the exhaust.

It's obvious to me that you have skills in the machine shop, a friend who can weld, and computer skills. Are you also a painter? :) I'm enjoying this. I hope you're enjoying the journey.

Snuff or nots installed.

Re: 1962 BSA DBD34 Gold Star restoration (Motor in rolling chassis!) Keep on going. With everything you have done, I'm sure you know where you will end up. A love affair doesn't have to make sense.

Boltdepot.com. They will sell you small quantities that are as reasonable as I have found.

The tires are Michelin Gazelles. They were all I could find to fit. As far as removing the parts from the package, I agree, it will be painful. If the end justifies the means, we'll be ok. After Christmas, if the snow leaves, I'll install and put up a demo.

I found a part that allows me to keep the straight pipes on. This is NOS from 1968.

Re: 1962 BSA DBD34 Gold Star restoration (making progress) I think you might try evaporust for the speedo. I used on my 160 and was pleased with the results. I would try it before anything that could damage it.

pacomotorstuff, The pipes you see fit well. They are aftermarket. I bought a set of CL175 pipes from the same engine series. I didn't realize that the pipe was a larger diameter. CL160 pipes were really hard to find.

I'm having problems with the cl exhaust. It came off a 175 and the pipes are a little larger. I'll have to do some work to adapt them. I put on the old pipes and here it is. http://youtu.be/kk1SfDMwdtA

Getting closer.

Re: 1962 BSA DBD34 Gold Star restoration (making progress) In regard to what you just said: I agree. If you know the plater and can hand deliver the parts, it's a great scene. When you're dealing with almost unobtanium parts, I don't trust many actions to have the desired result.

Teazer, the corrosion is inside the sealing area. The head is flat so I'm giving it a try. I don't like the pock marks in the chamber but I know that it won't make any difference on a low comp. street motor. I'm 2 carb kits, 1 battery, and some polishing of the side covers on the engine away...

I had to disassemble the horn to get it to function. One less item on the list.
