Great inspirational video! I just picked up a running but slightly ratty Thunderbolt, should be fun to improve (on a budget;)

Small petrol tank on the USA Gold Stars, four gallon tank on the UK ones which was 1/2 gallon bigger than used on the other A abd B series bikes. Hence they look "different". Clubman's version had the close ratio RRT2 gearbox. My DB34 did 65mph in first 90 in second 105 in third and 115 in top. Upped it to DBD34 Clubman's spec. as 18 year olds are wont to do. The 1 1/2" GP carb. was fun, as you had to "blip" the throttle at traffic lights. If it stalled that meant folding up both footrests, folding out the kickstart, bring it up to compression then squeeze the decompression lever to go just over TDC, retard the ignition about 50% then leap on the kickstarter whilst balancing the 380 lb. of bike with the other foot. Then keep it running by blipping the throttle whilst folding in the kick starter, folding out both footrests, hooking first gear and taking off with lots of throttle and some clutch slip before the lights changed. That usually left all the cars stuck behind me on a red light, their ears blasted by the thumps of the exhaust.

That is inspirational! I pick my A65 up in a week and am now more excited than ever. I was fixated on a pre-unit Triumph, but the A65 has won me over. The more I found out about the A65 the more I liked them.

Why is it that people try to be American, a ghastly thought? "Tear-down" is the horrible term that Yanks use for dismantling, or disassembling!

Mikuni Carb came with the bike and make's the bike more rideable in traffic as well as holding Idle, However Im looking to Change over to a GP carb as soon as I find an acceptable one, Im told it is possible to get the GP carb to Idle with some modification, I will cross the bridge when I get to it.

Hello, I am currently building a BSA A10 Desert sled. I would also like to swap the half hub for a 190mm full hub. Can you perhaps tell me how far off center the hub needs to be inserted. I have to have the wheel spoked at a company and shipped, so I can't center it in the fork. Thanks for the answer. frank

U should not heat the chamber when fixing the bearings waste fellow 😂😅😅😂

@motolab.EuropeanMotorcycles 8 ай бұрын

Off course you should! Always. Bearings in the freezer and there you go…. Not doing so will damage the crankcase’s everytime you change a bearing a little, until the fitting becomes to wide and historic crankcases are maybe beyond repair….

@SaileshkumarBobbili-e2t 8 ай бұрын

@@motolab.EuropeanMotorcycles I’m not satisfied with ur reply because I myself am a diploma in automobile engineering and i can easily fit a bearing using only oil

@@SaileshkumarBobbili-e2t can be, it is what it is… we do restore old motorcycles by trade for more than 38 years…. Certified engineer and did recondition hundreds of old engines… We are talking about engines at least 60 years old, not new ones…. These old and specific GoldStar crankcases are irreplaceable, once broken….. Do what you want, any professional restorer will agree with me….
