The Classic Biker Bar / Today's vintage quiz
« on: August 16, 2012, 12:04:22 PM »
At the Coventry Transport Museum there is a list on one of the walls of Coventry motorcycle manufacturers and they date from the late nineteenth century up until the end of Triumph Meriden. The question is how many motorcycle makers where there in Coventry, care to have a guess.?
All the best Goldy

British Bikes / Indicators
« on: September 18, 2010, 10:02:38 AM »
When I am out on my old BSA and stick my arm out to turn left or right some people seem to wonder what I am doing. It,s been so long since hand signals were used I am wondering how safe I am. This has lead to me to start thinking about fitting indicators to the machine. Anyone have any thoughts about the appearance and practical aspects of fitting these.

British Bikes / BSA A10
« on: October 13, 2008, 03:11:42 PM »
I am building an A10 it has Ariel hubs. If I fit the front hub (dont have the rim built up yet) and tighten the quick release spindle, then hub is not in the centre of the forks. I have an old wheel and rim complete and there is no rim off set. Any ideas please.

When fitting clip on's to BSA forks, does anyone have any idea of any anti corrosion treatment that can be applied to the fork stanchions as they are not hard chromed.

I find with my BSA A10 build that the cam followers are worn.  Can they be re claimed, built up and re ground and if so would they have to be case hardened. Any advice on this.

British Bikes / BSA, Triumph, Norton

So far as I am concerned the best British Bikes are the three above. For me its BSA because although the Engineering was possiblly not the best the appearance and performance beat the others, but what do you think.?

British Bikes / BSA A10 Clutch
« on: October 09, 2007, 06:39:18 AM »
As part of my A10 build I am now thinking about the clutch. The original six spring clutch was weak and I understand that a later clutch can be fitted. I am looking for advice as which specific clutch will fit and will it fit directly or have to be adapted. Any help apreciated.
