It seems that I have lost many of my disassembly photos of the 1967 BSA 441 when I transferred over to the new iPhone X.  On the plus side though, most of what was on there is not going back.  I finally settled on the route for restoration for this bike.  I have always liked … Continue reading BSA Repli-racer Beginning
