1970 BSA Lightning
Here are a couple pics of my latest restoration. It
started out as a reasonably complete basketcase, and ended up needing several
key parts for completion. Naturally, I turned to BritCycle for the rear fender,
chainguard, and many other smaller parts. As I have said before, I couldn't have
done it without you all. I also stepped up for a new pair of Amal concentrics. I
had heard all sorts of negative nonsense about the new Amals, but found them to
be excellent in every way except for one: they won't prime unless you extend the
priming push button rod a few millimeters. The bike now starts easily and idles
smoothly at 600-800 rpm !! Thanks again for all your help.
