Title: 1930 BSA Sloper S30-13 information sought
Post by: PJ Johnson on January 20, 2009, 09:57:02 PM

Hi all  1st time posting and thanks to Leon for getting me here.   I am seeking an illustrated parts catalog (if one exists) for a 30 BSA Sloper.
Could anyone get me a copy.  The BSAOC of England speaks of a parts list but that implies a word description instead of drawings or pictures.  Obviously a word listing of the Sloper's engine parts would be far less useful than visuals.   Once I learn to post photos to this forum, I will do so

The Vintage Motor Cycle Club Library is the place to go. They will provide you with copies of an illustrated parts list, the 1930 factory catalogue, the appropriate maintenance manual, et, etc.
Its the biggest and best motorcycle library in the world and you don't have to be a club member to access it.
They are also a very appropriate club for you to join as they run the type of events you will want to ride your bike in.
Cheers,

Wow ! what a timely reply...Thank You.  However when I looked up The Vintage Motor Cycle Club Library I got some rather unrelated links to the VMCCL  such as...http://www.princegeorgevintagemcclub.org/forum/index.php   or  http://www.metropulse.com/events/ongoing/4416/  “time warp Mcycle club  http://www.antiquemotorcycle.org/  Membership dues required or http://www.antiquemotorcycle.org/TheMag/features/200802/barber.html  an American club.  etc etc.   Would you be so kind as to paste the link to the Library you refered to ?  Thanks again PJ

Yes RAP I surely would like scans of the copies you mention. I thought I had emailed you directly about this but perhaps this was improper? Thanks PJ
