you are correct with the tank, ( which I havent had any issues with) and the wheels are 20 inch which it came out with along with a 4sp gear box. Im sure you will get yours sorted and have great fun riding it.

Thanks for that, since the video a few years ago, it is going well and have put plenty of miles on her now.

Thanks Tristan.

Fantastic. They are fun machines.

Thank you and No, Not for sale

That’s great. You should have see this before their restro.

Have a look at my before and after video.

Time to get it out and ride again.

Thank you. They are a sweet Thing.

Used a modern 10/40 motor cycle gear oils here in Australia. Penrite is the brand.

Hi Adrian, Im in Brisbane south side. If you havent all ready, I suggest joining this FB group here in AU. facebook.com/groups/1339768149430887

As it’s my fathers, he did not keep a tally, I do think he wanted to. 😬

Yes Australia.

Yes. We blow a head gasket.

Thanks Peter. In Oz they are called Crocs, bit different to sandals. But yes, socks with sandals makes every situation better.

Thank you. Speed will depend on rider weight and the gear box. 3 or 4 speed. My father is approx 80kg and can sit on 80kph with a 4sp box. Cost will also depend on the quality on the restore. Hope this helps.

@@davidburke9427 Thank you very much yes it has the 4-speed gearbox the model is BSA C11G 1955 my neighbour has a restored one in excellent condition he wants $7000

Thank you verymuch.

Thank you. I will pass your comment onto my father.

Thank you, the tail light come with the bike some 35yrs ago when my farther got it. We think it’s from an early pick up truck.

@@davidburke9427 Hi David, thank you. The tail light looks great even if belongs an old Pickup and gives some charm on this bike.

Thank you John.

Hi Ed. Glad it may help. Yes, the large one goes into the top of the outer and prevents the spring from coming up and through. The small one threads into a holder in the top of the springs preventing the from dropping out the bottom. Like the small nut on but to the top of the thread ( do you don’t damage the thread) give it a gentle knock downwards and see if the frees it up. Does your forks go up and down in a normal motion ? If not, the lower station may be ceased to the bushes.

@@davidburke9427 That's great thank you for the reply. I didn't realise there was a nut hiding under that cap on my bike, mystery solved. Apart from that the forks travel normally, no play or ceased elements that I'm aware of yet. Good tip on removing the grease nipples first too I definitely don't want to shear them off.

What year is your D5? Have you got service sheets and parts manual for it? There is some good Facebook groups for bantams as well. Where are you located ? This is a global group. Great for questions and info. facebook.com/groups/21878572579/?ref=share

I just looked on the Draganfly web site, yes you do have the 2 smaller nuts under the covers. www.draganfly.co.uk/index.php/bsa/bsa/bantam/d5/category/571-forks

Thanks Greg.

Hi Arnold, That is in there as a dampener, I do not have them in mine. The only place I could suggest is try Oz Bantams, they may have some.

Draganfly in the UK have repro sliders in stainless steel which, although not cheap, appear to be good quality. Avoid the Indian made repro ones, the chrome on them is decorative, not "hard", and peels off ruining your bushes in double-quick time. The rubber damper is a later improvement and is of debatable use. Be wary of over-greasing these. They only need to have a liberal amount around the bush area, and an occasional pump to top up. Too much grease can cause them to lock up, and the amount packed around the springs you took out is probably why you had them jamming on full bump.

@@knackeredrovers thanks for taking the time to reply,I have indeed contacted Draganfly about some sliders,currently out of stock but have some on back order,gent on the phone very helpful but says they could take a while so it's a waiting game

HI, I purchased the seat some 25yrs ago. On the bottom its has stamped on it "Made by Bar Enterprise, California USA" . If you look for Bobber or chopper seats, you should find something.
