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.  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. Sent from my li'l ol' iPhone 4S augmented w/ a mophie juice pack plus® using Tapatalk. Probably from the crapper.

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