Fantastic series. I found the first one totally by accident and binge watched the lot. I don't even have a B31, I ride a Honda, but I've always been tempted to get an old BSA single to bring back to life.

Thanks for the comment, hope you find a good bike to restore. Cheers B

Hello Brian I am so glad I found your channel. I have just spent a few days watching the rebuild of this beautiful bike. I am just a spanner wielding mechanic of sorts. A retired Chemistry teacher who always did their own car mechanics. I am so jealous of your work and skill. I wish I had your skill and equipment for machining. Wonderful to watch. You worked so hard doing the rebuild but to video it and then edit it takes so much time. Fantastic. Thank you so much. I am doing a bit of a rebuild on a '59 C15 but it is just to get the engine to stop haemorrhaging.

[@500dbd34]

Hugh, thanks for the great comment, always appreciated, glad you enjoyed the series. Good luck with your C15 rebuild remember we are the guys who are keeping our British Bike heritage alive. Cheers Brian

It has been very illustrative to watch your videos I enjoyed too much and are invaluable to restore my BSAs, there are no words to thank you for the time you took to make each of the videos and their editing thank you very much, I started the restoration of a BSA B34 1951 when I was a kid, I live in Aguascalientes; México, at that time, there wasn't nothing only air for the tires... No information, no web, only my hope, and After many years and efforts, I received the manuals from Canada, was like Christmas!!! I spent 3 days until started up the bike first time... What a great Joy!!! I know that that feeling is one of my best moments in life... :D since then, I am a BSA Fan, I been restoring a 1940 BSA M20 too, as a dentist, I try to have time to continue the restoration process and the searching for parts, the bikes are 95% complete but need some advice... can I call you or email for questions please??? Thank you very very much!! Yo have a friend in Mexico, your are welcome!

[@EveAntony]

First thing is first...A big round of applause👏 full of happiness and appreciation for all the efforts you have taken for this successful restoration. You did a great job. The bike gets its new avatar through your patience. For me its like watching a TV series filled with thrills and twists. All your efforts get their completion and stand in front of you in the form of a completely restored B31. Well done Mr.Brian👍.

[@500dbd34]

Well done, a great Bike! Good poerfull engine, stable chassis. I drive my B33 since 4 years. About 45 years i have ride a lot of bikes, now i are 61 and the BSA fascinates me very much. The ignition point of 38° before TDC with a disc is perfekt. My B33 hsa also 38° and starts and runs perfect. Respekt, you make a verry good restoration. Best regards and have fun with the BSA, Michael from Germany

[@MartynStubbsTBS]

Hello brian , why didn't you fit concentric carburettor? Front brake is it 8 inch? Only I can't get the right length brake cable to fit my 1953 b31 , to long. Great videos, brian you have been a great help to me , you have inspired me thankyou so much .

[@500dbd34]

No particular reason, I would have liked to fit the Pre Monoblock but coudn't use it, the brake is 7" I sometimes have to make my own cables as it's hit and miss with bought ones. Thank again for the comment. Cheers B

[@MartynStubbsTBS]

Hi Brian, Interesting videos with some clever work being carried out, and a very nice looking bike at the end. I have an old BSA B31 myself, I bought it around 35 to 40 years ago, it is complete and in original condition in need of restoration, it has telescopic front suspension with rigid frame at back, I am unsure of it's age, I was told when I bought it that is was a 1949 model. I have never tried to start the bike, as I would like strip and check the engine before doing so, due to work commitments I have been unable to fine time to restore the bike, I would love to get it restored to the standard of your bike. Note: could you tell me how to confirm it's age, I do not have any log book for it, it does have an old road tax disc attached this is probably when the bike was last used.

[@500dbd34]

John, thanks for the comment, you can date the bike using the engine and frame numbers. Google BSA engine numbers or go to the Bsa Owners Club web site and follow the links. Good luck with you restoration, Cheers B

[@mikeburton7077]
