That is inspirational! I pick my A65 up in a week and am now more excited than ever. I was fixated on a pre-unit Triumph, but the A65 has won me over. The more I found out about the A65 the more I liked them.

Mikuni Carb came with the bike and make's the bike more rideable in traffic as well as holding Idle, However Im looking to Change over to a GP carb as soon as I find an acceptable one, Im told it is possible to get the GP carb to Idle with some modification, I will cross the bridge when I get to it.

Hello, I am currently building a BSA A10 Desert sled. I would also like to swap the half hub for a 190mm full hub. Can you perhaps tell me how far off center the hub needs to be inserted. I have to have the wheel spoked at a company and shipped, so I can't center it in the fork. Thanks for the answer. frank

Off course you should! Always. Bearings in the freezer and there you go…. Not doing so will damage the crankcase’s everytime you change a bearing a little, until the fitting becomes to wide and historic crankcases are maybe beyond repair….

@craiggebauer75199 ай бұрын
Sell the car you have now and buy a real convertible. The cost to convert this car correctly was very expensive because of all the reinforcement needed, if you don’t reinforce the car thoroughly when you put it on the lift to service it, it will spread apart like an artichoke.

Back in 1964 or 5 while in the RCN another matelot bought a brand new 500 Goldy still in the crate and when we unpacked that thing it had a bunch of stuff like rear-set controls and clip on bars packed in that crate. He weighed all of 120 lbs and couldn't kick that thing over without using the compression release. I had a 58 TR6C with the high pipes, SS tranny and compi mag and on our annual leave we rode those two bikes through the Roger's Pass from Esquimalt BC. to Calgary Alta. when a lot of it was still gravel highway. He put a Wahl Phillips fuel injector on that thing and it flew but was real sensitive to elevation changes. Boy those are good memories.
