British Bikes / Re: Clutch Identification? BSA M21
« on: December 23, 2006, 12:02:37 PM »
Well I checked the lettering and it has sort of answered my question - It says "DEVIMEAD" and a quick Google points me to the SRM engineering in the UK.  Looks like the previous owner has had some tinkering done on the girl...

I probably should have mentioned, my patchy understanding of the bike's history is that one of the P.O. brought it over to Aust. from London with him.  I have some correspondence from the BSAOC-UK that came with the bike.  So many of the mods would have been done in the U.K.

British Bikes / Clutch Identification? BSA M21
« on: December 22, 2006, 08:23:03 AM »
Hi all,

Can anyone help me with identifying the clutch in the pic?  This is fitted to my M21, but doesn't appear to match the service book images?  Was this an option or a modification that a previous owners done?

Thanks

Thanks Bob and Grizzly,

I agree with you Bob - It makes sense to get the bike up and running before I worry what colours etc.  I'm looking around for an old tank from any bike that I can temp. fit whilst I get the engine running, whilst my original tank is cleaned up & painted -

Thanks for that Bob!

I just rang up Roy, and plan to see him once Xmas is over...  Just got to find those elusive tank badges now...
I've already sent my membership app. in... (before I bought the bike... bit pre-emptive, I know)

Once again, thanks for the pointers; it's appreciated.

J.

Hi everyone,

Just dropping a note to say hello, as I have just signed up, having become the proud owner of a 'project' bike to sink all of my savings, time and sanity into.  

You will probably see me on the forum asking stupid questions as only a 'newbie' can, but remember there are no stupid questions, only stupid people... hmmm.

The girl posing in the pic is an 1952 M21, running (just).

Am planning a restoration and if anyone can help me with colour schemes, cable placement etc, I would be indebted!

Regards,

Jon (Melb, Australia)
