a real scrambler

I'd like to share some pics of my BSA 441 Victor. I just completed this in June after 4 years in the making. This was a basket case when I brought it home, virtually no 2 parts were joined together, even the crankshaft was broken down into bits with evidence of some kid hammering on it. I can honestly say that every part on this bike spent time rolling through my fingers. Lot's of stuff was missing and some stuff I custom fabricated. It's a 67 frame with a 68 or newer motor. This is my 1st British bike and what better way to learn about them than building one yourself. Believe it or not this was the best thing going for off-road riding in the mid-60's, just before the 2-smokers came on the scene.

 

This is what I tried to replicate, a 1965/66 Victor 441GP of which only about 450 were ever made.

 

I love the polished alloy on the tank!

 

Well done.

 

Nice.
