better jump on it...won't last long.

risky, can't tell if the motor is seized .

doesn't matter...old school bikes are easy to fix...ELBOW GREASE! all the pieces and parts appear to be there, i would say go for it.

as much as I would like the bike can't use a 'project' :(

completely wrong. a fully seized bottom-end is impossible to fix.

unfortunately I have a fucked up life right now and absolutely no personal life

nice looking.. the 'barn find' thing and price would worry me

frame damage etc?

not local to me... too bad would love to see this in person

in theory you are correct, but you can ditch the internal parts and start fresh. i know that is not exactly"fixing" it, but as long as the engine cases are intact, the motor can be "rebuilt"

right, that's the risk, losing the serial #s on those cases, if the internal melded to the cases, which is a full seize.

a bike of the provenance, it's pretty much a basketcase otherwise.

good point. it's not like you're going to find a 66 bsa motor to swap out the bad one as you would with a modern bike.....

i got to thinking though, i wonder if bsa was even putting serial #s on their cases in 1966... some (most?) vehicle manufacturers didn't start that till a few years later.

i guess there would still be the problem of tracking down another 66-era bsa motor.

3d printing :thumbsup

sooo niceeee!

nice ride...
although I was expecting a nice pair of boobs with that title...

nice tits are easy to find... but a cherry 69 bsa... :thumbsup

looks like something mike and frank would buy

:1orglaugh

jay leno could prolla crank one out for ya in about 45 minutes.

At that price, I'd buy it right now. However, without seeing it in person.... I wouldn't risk it. Much less if you don't have time to dedicate to it

out of morbid curiosity i took a quick google

lots apparently :1orglaugh

Never doubt the power of EBAY....

looks like they used serial #s in 1965, those few cases on ebay all have them. hoepfully the original is still good.
