In this classic motorcycle workshop video log we give you an update on the projects we've got on the go in the workshop. The highlight of the day today is that the 1954 BSA Gold Star BB34 (499cc) which we've been rebuilding is now complete for you to see and hear. This is a special one-off project and wouldn't have been completed without the help of our friend Phil Pearson, who has supplied the crank assembly and worked on some other specialist parts.

The joys of owning a classic motorcycle. Deep pockets.. Its beautiful and I'm glad the owner isn't obsessed with originality. A good usable machine... 🏁🏁

That crankshaft was a masterpiece.

What a wonderful job by you and Phill. Some beautiful bikes in your care

@geneahart5607 7 месяцев назад

I've been anticipating a workshop vlog and found it. Don't know why it didn't show up in my feed. Love the workshop vlogs and the way they are put together. Thanks for doing these!

@SLED649 7 месяцев назад

Dave you are a true craftsman! You have machines come to you in God knows what condition & you troubleshoot & fettle until your skills get to the root of the problems & you solve them. Way to go!👍

@Sticky-gp2yh 6 месяцев назад

Quote, not a cheap job, id love to know what a resto like that costs, as I have no idea. Absolutely beautiful, finished job.

@martinowl 7 месяцев назад

Nice job. Phil is a real craftsman. His talents must be sorely missed if he has retired.

@joereedmusic9853 7 месяцев назад

You are a true motorcycle technician, an old school master.

Really enjoy your video updates. Thank you. 😊

@jimbo8009 7 месяцев назад

You and the camera person have my admiration. Its to cold for me to brave my garage. Im just a lightweight I guess.

@davidellis7144 7 месяцев назад

It's always great to see you explain exactly how you do the work on these bikes Dave. Looking forward to seeing how the project bike progresses.

@morini500dave 6 месяцев назад

Great to be watching these videos of your restorations especially on these damp cold winter days when classics generally including my 59 B31 are put away until spring,you said the customer is going to change the number plate,I'd be interested to know where it came from as it looks like German of French font? would suite my French Motoconfort U2C.

@user-ot7fc8jo8x 7 месяцев назад

Awesome to see what Dave is achieving and well filmed by his assistant 👍 amazing to see work in progress on a 65 year old machine which has been dismantled since it was 2 👍👌👏

@bruceleong9534 7 месяцев назад

Yes I agree with you about Dave’s highly developed skills and his unwavering passion for classic bikes; I love watching these videos. FYI all of the content on both The Classic Bike Channels 1 & 2 are produced independently by Alex who, as far as I know, collaborates with Dave, John and other classic bike enthusiasts to produce these wonderful videos.

@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel2 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, you're spot on there Bruce! Thanks for your support, Alex

@rickmancr 7 месяцев назад

A shorter connecting rod does not make the stroke shorter. AFAIK, all production Gold Stars had the same 88mm stroke, shared with the B31/B33/M33 and the B32/34 Competition models.

@aumkar2 7 месяцев назад

Excellent video as always! Electronic ignition with a regular E3LM Dynamo is asking way too much from the Dynamo, IMO. I would suggest you tell the customer to use a modern charging set-up or go back to Magneto ignition because that Electronic setup is going to slowly kill the Dynamo.

@philhunt4070 25 дней назад

Hi Dave really enjoy your channel and hope you could provide me with some guidance on my 1952 Triumph speed twin. The Dynamo is not charging and I suspect faulty field windings. So need to remove Dynamo to rebuild it. What is required to get it off the bike? Do I need to remove the timing cover or is it possible to pull complete unit out the left side of the bike. I assume you slacken the band clamp then what nuts have to be removed to allow the unit to slide out? Thanks for any advice you can provide Phil

What Dave doesn't know isn't worth knowing

@ollywareing9419 6 месяцев назад

Hi Dave please can I get intouch with you personally. I have a bb32 goldstar that I'd like you to see. It's a bike with a special history and story that I'd like you to hear. The bike needs restoration but I would like to tell you about its special history and send you some pics. Kind regards Olly

@PatrickWhitaker-ls2cs 7 месяцев назад

Nice to see a new video out, I've already watched all your content, very good quality work and explanations are very informative and no bullshit 👏

@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel2 7 месяцев назад

Right on Patrick, that's exactly the angle we're going for :) Alex

@PAGallagher 7 месяцев назад

Always interesting videos, I like the level of detail you go into, thank you. I've always wondered why the singles use, what I would call, a fabricated crankshaft rather than a forged single piece, like my old BSA A65. I would have thought that getting the 2 halves of the single's crank aligned etc must be a nightmare and the crank always needs to be split to replace the big end ....... always seemed complicated to me. My C15 was like that.

@kevinseiler1592 7 месяцев назад

Dave, wonderful end result on that BB Goldie. Love the chainguard. Those are rare as rocking horse poo. Would love one for my CB34 project. Is anyone producing a good reproduction chainguard?

@vincesacca5025 5 месяцев назад

You have some very nice motorcycles. Can you comment on the new BSA Goldstar 650. Thanks.

@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel2 5 месяцев назад

Hey, yep, we attended the launch here in the UK and Dave took his DBD34, here's the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8AQWhJG14Qg.htmlsi=FaJo5kpddbVLLu_3

@vincesacca5025 5 месяцев назад

Thank you. Your opinion means a lot.@@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel2

@motorcyclebutslow5967 7 месяцев назад

Great video, as usual. I do have one question though, does anyone know about the mirror at 1:07? What are they called and where would one get one, maybe?

@simonbodle 7 месяцев назад

Great video! Slightly off topic but just wondering if the red lift is the one from Machine Mart as I have been looking at getting one?

@jumpfortyfour9965 7 месяцев назад

cracking video dave if poss your hour rate for your work . I live iom not a lot of good craftman you would like to leave you bike with here .

@stevenwatsham5973 7 месяцев назад

What Tires does the BSA have?.. All I could find for my G80 was the horrible wear square Avons.. Thank you..

@steve290461 7 месяцев назад

Who else helps you with these bikes

@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel2 7 месяцев назад

Dave works by himself in the workshop. I come down once or twice a month to do vlogs. Pete works next door and helps out when Dave needs an extra set of hands, that's about it, Alex

@steveabbotts6561 Месяц назад

Your wrong about the breather, the engine breathes by going through the main bearing into primary case by putting in a seal you've now eliminated engine breathing.

@marklchapman2785 7 месяцев назад

Looks great … on another note, I was gifted a lightning 650 Clubman. It was left outside for too long and but the engine is okay. It’s just the tank and bits and pieces are a bit rusty but the frame is good. Any advice?
