Hi,
I'm restoring an old BSA A65 which has had its front end replaced with a Betor front end. The problem is, this is quite long, and it was put on from the days the bike was raced. It has no mounting points for mudguards, or anything really.
So, I'm thinking of putting the front end from another bike onto it. First of all, are there any good threads on here about doing this specifically? I know lots of people do this as part of their own restorations, but I've not found anything describing the process in general.
I don't want to modify the frame of the BSA, so I guess the only thing that transfers from the old bike is the headstock length and angle. What process do I go through to identify and then source a replacement front end?
