British Bikes / BSA Bantam Gearbox Question.
« on: December 28, 2015, 05:49:54 PM »
Hi guys...I know my bike is not a vintage bike but you guys are so knowledgeable I thought I would ask.

Its a 4 speed B175 1970.

I am putting the 2 stroke engine back together after fitting new seals and roller bearings.

Got the crank end float spot on with 4" thou end float....but when trying a test assembly before applying on the case sealant.

I found I had no end float on the gearbox shafts...in fact it is ever so slightly putting a pre load on the shfts if I bolt them up...

I can see no way of adjust ment...is this clearance normally pre set...

I am presuming there should be some??

Be grateful for any advice.

Nick.

HI guys bought a B175 Bantam about 6 months ago..my first ever bike...took it for its first MOT in well over 30 years last weekend...passed with flying colours.

The chap that tested it said there are another 4 Bantam owners in my home town.

It would love to have a chat with some local owners...

Any suggestions on how I may contact any of these owners.

I am a member of the Bantam Owners Club but see non from Runcorn in the list of members.

Hi all...the attached picture is on my late Father In Law on his beloved motor Cycle approx date is 1950.

My wife and I would love to know what make and model of motor bike it is...I wonder if anybody can ID it for us.

I think it may have been taken at New Brighton on the Wirral Merseyside UK.

Ken was a despatch rider during WW2 serving in France.
