Great vid. I just wonder why there are soooo many different wyas of how they installed the wiring under the rear fender!! RE, get your standards right. My rear red reflector plate wasn't even bolted on: the plastic of it rear had just been melted down through the mounting holes. Horrible
Glad i didnt get one it doesn't look like a good bike even for the price 🤔 ide rather spend that sort of money and buy a proper BSA an old one and get something thats not going to depreciate 👍
Looks great but how loud is it? I mean how many decibels? Asking as I’m ocasionally going for the track and they measure the db before they let you in. Thanks!
Most of the improvement in performance if any will be in your head because you spent so much time and money you will convince yourself it was worth it. Spoiler Alert Its NOT !
Very nice Job, but the new goldies, will never have the noise or sound, of an original! But this has to be a massive improvement, on the factory fitted pipe that makes the goldie sound more like a Honda CG 125.
Checking the valve clearing at the first service, specially on a engine with shims, seems crazy to me, my suzuki bandit have done 50K miles and have been checks twice (after 20K and 40K) and both times it have been with in specs.
I haven’t found anyone that has also plugged in a Obd2 scanner, everyone just test rides. I want to see the short term fuel change with each setting. How about it.
I was seriously considering buying a BSA (to replace my Triumph, which I'm now finding too tall and too heavy) but I'm currently seeing relatively large numbers of used Gold Stars for sale with very low mileages, this is making me wonder why ?.. Also I'm a bit concerned about the implications of Euro5 (not BSA's fault of course..) with regard to the GPS tracking function, on-board recording and storage of performance data and the GPS speed limiter. I know the speed limiter function on bikes is not being activated yet due to it being deemed dangerous when cornering, but I'm not sure whether it is still being fitted, with a view to activating it at some point in the future (which the EU insist it will be once the 'gremlins' have been ironed out..)
Absolutely disappointed, I was looking forward to watching this video but it soon became very clear that there is absolutely no sign of Clint Eastwood..
My TEC rack just snapped both sides on my Interceptor, 2 days before I'm going on a bike trip. It had an aluminium top box attached to it via an adapter plate i had bolted on it. A mate of mine is hopefully going to weld it up and add some reinforcement to it. I did use it to do Lands End to John o Groats last year, so i had used the rack for about 2700 miles before it broke. If you want pictures to show where it snapped i can send them to you via email or somehow as it might help show where rack could be strengthened in the future?
I ran BSAs, for 12 years in the 70s and 80s. I think they have done a good job, in a "DNA" way, it looks like a modern reincarnation of a BSA single and has the original Gold Star, (not the later, B50 GS ss model), look, almost uncannily! I appreciate, what Enfield has done and Triumph, though I think their engines are bulky and do not have the grace of the original Meridan machines. I think it's a good start! Everybody seems to think it rides well, damping aside?
Seems like a block between the fender and tire would do the trick. I think he was working with the bike on the kickstand, the frame drops not the swing arm. Am i missing something? If it was on a center stand nothing would happen unless you removed both shocks at the same time.
Why is everyone making exhausts, but there's no "nice" heat shield alternative. I want something nicer than this ugly plate. Something like the scrambler 900 has would be nice.
