    Thanks for that.
    I just find it such a shame the turn of events that changed the industry.
    (japanize invaision/british demise)
    Made life tough for a number of years. (like 20)
    Now days with the internet, reproduction parts, and particularly for me, the increase in intrest in the B50, parts can be aquired from home.
    So persistance, sticking-to-it have paid off.
    Also buying 5 junkers over the years doesn't hurt keeping my main machine a daily driver!

    The more recent junk salvage is documented in this youtube video;

    Geez, I save the broken parts...ha, if nothing else to tell the story!

    It's a home built V twin. Runs beautifully.

    Very nice bike there!
    Those bars...
    I think I have a set of those. There are handlebars that came with the T and MX models that I just can't stand...or sit :lol3

    I have used the pair before, (seen in a scanned 1984 photo), and plan on using them again soon on my triumph, or maybe a yam 650.

    Is this what they call the "western bend" ?
    They are kind of like superbike bars. But superbike bars a narrower and have less pullback. Anyone know?

    In keeping with the topic I'd like to once more post these two videos of the 2010 BSAOC "motherlode ride".

    Honestly don't know much about BSA. Saw this beauty at a vintage aircraft show in Brampton, Ontario.

    Got rid of the 441's when this guy came along. Sitting in a barn since 1968, but slowly coming back:

    Bits cleaned up. Still a ways to go, but I'm having fun with it.

    I've been helping my neighbor to get this basket case going.
    The star motor has been replaced by a 65 441.
    It's getting a modern styling job to do away with the girlie bike look.:clap

    Great thread. Keep the Beezer pics coming! Just like with Triumphs the USA got the sweeter looking spec BSAs. Thankfully there are still loads of Beezers Stateside with low mileage and in very original condition.
