This is from a BSA B50 Gold Star.  These were only made in 1971 & 72, but I can't tell which as the engine number doesn't seem to follow the expected pattern.

These were capable off-roaders produced right at the end of the company's life.

thank you it is 90% intact, is it worth putting any money in it to restore.
