Parts are on order...

and the project will soon begin.

Over thirty years ago my late brother gave me a 1968 BSA 441 Victor Special. At the time the plan was to use it strictly for dirt riding with friends who were on 200 lb. Huskies, Montessas, Bultacos, Ossas, etc. Problem was the Beezer was 360 lbs. dry weight, so.........some weight had to be cut. In some cases, think hack saw. :doh:

Been thinking and talking about restoring it for quite a while and now it's time. I'm pretty sure it won't look quite this good but my goal is to get it looking as close to this as possible.

The ubiquitous 441 Victim.
I look forward to following its progress.

Howzabout posting a "before" pic?




Closeup of the tires, sil vous plait.
(Lord, I apologize...)

Where is the BEFORE picture?

y2kflhr 07-30-2013 08:28 PM

I think it's still buried under the stairwell

Uesque 07-30-2013 08:31 PM

Maybe he stored it in Xkvator's garage.

y2kflhr 07-30-2013 08:35 PM

Probably all the parts he needs are in there

You would be correct sir. Will take a "before" once I dig it out.

Of course the tires are flat ya doof.....it's been sitting under the garage stairs for almost 20 years.

Won the 500 cc Motocross world championship in '64 and '65. Was also a favorite for flat tracking as well.

If you use the compression release, it will be easier to push up the stairs.:whistling:
