What's The Proper British Term
 

For "Basket Case"?
Fun times ahead!
1956 A10 BSA 650 twin.
Front fender is the only thing that I KNOW is missing.
Baskets, tubs, geeze, I don't know if this will ever get done.

I think those fork legs will need some Brillo.Attachment 61074Attachment 61075Attachment 61076http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/09/29/duhydy6y.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/09/29/u5ypa2uz.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/09/29/mu7a7upu.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/09/29/vedasyru.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/09/29/2upyva6u.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/09/29/eseby8ym.jpg

Isn't the proper response to announcements of this type:

That'll buff right out.

:) Have fun with your new toy. I wholeheartedly believe in your power to out think metal.

Ah hell, rub some dirt on it, it'll be fine.
(Actually, as Brits go, I've brought back worse, that does looks pretty complete)
Have fun!
( British Cycle Supply, and British Only are great places to start)

A bloody lot of work.

Definitely a period "correct" tail light...:whistling:

Bits ‘n Bobs

I like that wooden box some of the parts are in. Is it salvageable? Don't throw it out until I see it.

I believe the British term is still "Basket Case" :unsure:

I wish you my best on resurrecting that one from the dead:whistling:





BOB:blink:

I think the proper British term is "Piece of Schiyte"

Whoa Man.... You persevere thru that and my hat is off to you!! A challenge is fun but thats :blink:
Best of luck and look forward to the results....

That sounds more Germanic.

:roflback:

Good luck Ricky.

Duct tape and JB Weld, good as new! :) lol

Sheeeesh Ricky, my 441 Victor isn't anywhere near that bad off. It's 'mostly' together but is going to need quite a bit of TLC. Found most of the parts I need but still looking for a speedo and a couple other items. If you find a good source for BSA parts, let me know.

I will, Tom. Just starting to get my feet wet.
