Here is the BSA as she now stands. I still have a
long way to go as there is still a lot of parts yet
to be powder coated. What is cool and barely visible
is the hidden mount for the Boyer ignition's black
box. It's under the battery and you cannot see it
without getting on hands and knees. The paint was
done by Don Hutchinson in the OEM colour scheme; the
frame was done by Andrews Powder Coating in a colour
called "reflectra", looks a lot like grey nickel.
From talking with Don Emde reminiscing about his time
at the BSA factory, this colour looks a lot like what
styling had intended originally. I originally got
the bike from Baxter's Cycle and had Raber's rebuild
and o-ring the oil pump.
