BSA

I came across this 1965 Cyclone A500 close by





Guy says it runs and has a clean title. Bothe gauges work.
It’s missing a right side cover and needs a cleaning.
Asking $2,600.00

My first question is what do you guys think?
From what I’ve been seeing as far as price goes it’s a good deal for a runn stock BSA.
The 2nd question is the Cyclone side covers the same as other BSA’s of that time?

That’s a good buy. I couldn’t read the mileage.  
Devil is in the details.
The side covers difference as far as I know is only between singlecarb and dual carb
 
The project I currently have I am just going to run the bare oil tank on one side and the other I have a custom battery box for
It is missing the covers.

Mileage is 16,000.
Thanks for the tip on the side cover.
I’m hoping to go take a look tomorrow. Waiting on a reply.
We shall see.

Well
Idk. I mean is going to need a lot of work . Sure looks pretty.
You could fix the one you got . lol.

It turned out to be a dead end. We set a date and time but when it came time to meet he ghosted me and didn’t give the address so movin on.

I still plan to redo the Hacksaw bike but I’m also keeping an eye out for a stock beezer.

I know where there are 2.  
Well, as of a few months ago.  

One of them I’m told kinda of rare,
as it’s all pretty original with the upswept twin exhaust.
I think it was a gold paint scheme.
I sat on that one.

The other one supposed to be unmolested also.
Never saw it.

I’ll ask about them tomorrow, see if I can get some pics.  

[hacksaw]

waiting on you Grady. gold with upswept exhaust? this i would like to see.

[motogrady]

I called, both sold pretty quick.

Gold, yellow, I can’t remember if it was Suxxex Setting Sunset, or Brite Yorkshire Yellow, whatever,
it’s gone.

[hacksaw]

well thanks for trying. i have never seen yellow bsa  twins. that would be a rare one as most were British domestic ones.

Nice find there Mr. Walt. Is that a B44 Victor?

[hacksaw]

Likely Vspecial.  But Allthough they came yellow they obviously were singles. Somewhere there must be a yellow twin  . But I haven’t seen one.

Yeah, we get 1 or 2 of those asshole about twice a week.  
This guy was kinda slick, took the time to read the thread and reply in a way to fit in.
Most of them just put up stuff they are selling.  
Thing was, his English was broken.  
Plus you had to click on a link he put up to converse with him. That’s what I noticed.
Plus, he had just joined, his very first post.

So I clicked him.

I try to stay on top of these lowlife assholes,
but believe it, they are relentless.

Other sites, some you need to get approved to post,
we just might have to go that route.
