Exhaust fitting on bike

This video covers the fitment of the exhaust on a 1954 BSA Bantam. It shows the internals of the silencer and the use of a C spanner.

I am restoring a '52 D1......and your whole series is probably the most useful, detailed set of KZbin videos that I have seen. Thank you....you are a major asset to BSA Bantam restoration

I am restoring my D3Bantam and these videos have given me great confidence.Many thanks.

HI, I am glad you like the videos - good luck with your Bantam.

No decoking is needed now with modern low ash oils.

The one you cut down can be cut further and will do well on a D5, D5, etc up to larger pipe sized bikes. The gasket is designed to take up a certain amount of differences. Surely no one buys a new exhaust without a new gasket?

use a chromed dome nut instead looks a lot better

[@bsabantambuilding8142]

Thank you - I will doin the future. I aree it oo btter.

[@dvddale111]

Try fitting with the nut on, it doesn't help by just offering things up.

Where do you get your spares

[@bsabantambuilding8142]

Hi I get them from all over really, Bournemouth Bantams, Bantam John, Classic Bikes,, and a few others off the internet. The only time I had a problem was with the Speedo light bulb set up from India - which I covered in that particular video. Good luck with your restoration.
