De-cat to MY BSA 650 Gold Star. it definitely does sound like a real DBD34

[@mikepopelka2349]

Love what you've done to the bike! Far closer sounding and looking like the original than stock, good job!

[@awesomeappleby5923]

@@mikepopelka2349 thanks, I've tried to get it as close as I can to the original , I just need to make some Rear Sets now, no one sell them yet 👍

[@Beanerds]

Nice ! , I owned and loved a 1952 ES2 Norton 500cc single ( that I should have never sold ! ) and this sounds very similar , the way they should . Enjoy and thank you .

[@awesomeappleby5923]

Thank you, they were the real days, Norton 500 👍

[@SameSh1tDifferentDrain]

Sounds much better...I bought the fuel x unit from the same seller

[@awesomeappleby5923]

I nearly purchased it, but thought I'd try the De-Cat without it first. Probably have to go and buy one later though 👍

[@madbadger85]

I think that exhaust mod looks better than having nothing there, it’s just a big gap without the cat there, well done it does now sound like the original bike!!! Just watch out for the noise police!!

[@awesomeappleby5923]

I agree, it does fill the hole nicely and keeps the original look of the bike. I found the baffle now, so it's going in, I would of liked to hear it for myself as a pedestrian standing at the roadside , must sound amazing compared to sitting on the bike 👍

[@gordonyoung3668]

well done on another in depth video on de-cating the Gold Star and with minimal tools too.☝

[@awesomeappleby5923]

Thank you, my toolbox is very minimal 😁👍

[@ogasi1798]

sounds brilliant

[@awesomeappleby5923]

Thanks, I'm going to try the baffle in, see which I prefer.👍

[@andrewhubbard7912]

Great channel. I own a Gold Star. In the past I have owed many motorbikes, this bike is one of the best. I love what you have done to yours. Can you tell me where you get your accessories from especially the gauge raisers. Thanks,.. Keep up the great content…Andy

[@awesomeappleby5923]

Great to hear you like your Gold Star. The clock raisers were from Moore Speed racing. The rear light was just a cheap one off eBay, and got this de cat second hand off the BSA forum, but they are on eBay brand new. Shocks were from Tec, but they don't do the black ones anymore 👍

Hi, where did you get the rear shocks? They look great!

[@awesomeappleby5923]

From Tec last year, £80, but they don't sell them anymore. Hitchcock's motorcycles do an hagon version in black, but they are £300 big difference 👍

[@thomasomahony.7394]

I have to say, I like most of the changes you have made so far, but this one is not one of the better ones in my opinion, I opted for the full header pipe and mufler from Moorespeed racers, it is much cleaner, and in keeping with the original goldstar.

[@awesomeappleby5923]

@@thomasomahony.7394 thanks. yes, I did think about doing it that way, but when this de cat came up for sale at half price, I couldn't resist trying it out.👍

the pipe sensors adjust the injection to suit? come MOT time, the cat has to be reinstalled obviously. sounds fruity, veery nice.

[@awesomeappleby5923]

Thanks, I don't know what the MOT rules are for a cat, I know there's no emissions on a bike. but I've got 2 years left to find out👍

[@ZedHead1968]

Mot does not require a cat to be fitted on a UK motorcycle.

[@ironlionmotorcycles]

Do you get away with the black and white reg plate? Bike looks good.

[@awesomeappleby5923]

Up to now, it's been on since I got it 22 months ago, it's quite large and very easy for police and cameras to read, so maybe, they don't think I'm trying to dodge anything and let me by, fingers crossed anyway 🤞

[@ironlionmotorcycles]

@awesomeappleby5923 possibly think it's an old bike!

[@brockett]

So will it be illegal without the cat? Will it be ok to use in ULEZ areas? Will you be having the ECU remapped?

[@awesomeappleby5923]

Sorry, I don't know what is legal or not. But , doesn't ulez work on registration plates, so surely the camera would register as everything still ok🤔 I won't be having it remapped as I'm informed the ECU does it automatically, and at the moment, it's behaving nicely.
