The chain is currently pieced together and slaps quite a bit at certain speeds so it will get a new chain before I release it to anyone, and if I can get some more time on it I will change the fluids and re adjust the rockers. The engine has a total of about 2 hours break in time on it, and will still require more break in period. is finished in satin black and the tank and rear fender are charcoal metallic. These are simple systems, and as long as the connections are maintained they work very well contrary to popular belief. It uses the original Lucas electrics, 12V coils condensors and points and rectifier and zener diode charging system.
It has an octagon oil tank/battery box with a new acid gel 12V battery.
The springer front end has been disassembled, cleaned and painted, bushings replaced where needed, and re- assembled. The bike has a 16 in rear Harley rim laced to a BSA hub, and a 17 inch spool front with no brake and a new Michelin tire. It was a low mileage engine with little wear. New bearings, rings, valve job, no Asian parts in the engine, all American (Hastings rings) or British. I rebuilt the engine (50 years of BSA experience) from bottom to top beginning with stripping the rotating assembly and cleaning out the sludge trap. My son Jimmy is responsible for re-welding, strengthening, and fabricating all of the brackets etc. We did not cut the bike up.I refuse to do that.the frame and engine came to us already hard tailed with an extended stock BSA front end from the NC mountains. It is a matching number 1969 Lightning, and it has a clear and matching Florida title. Unfortunately his financial situation deteriorated and hence we are in the position of liquidating the bike. This is not our normal pursuit of Brit bike building, but we built it specifically for a customer who wanted to replicate his BSA chopper which he rode from California to Kentucky in the early 70`s. This chopper was designed and built as a reproduction of an authentic 1960`s British chopper with springer front end, hard tail and no front brake. After the fire was largely out, firefighters went back inside the house to put out hot spots and ventilate the house.We are offering for sale this recently finished 1969 BSA 650 Lightning custom chopper. Firefighters who initially went inside had to evacuate and stick to defensive firefighting operations from outside the house.Īs seen from Chopper 2, two aerial ladders were seen spraying hoses over the house, along with multiple hose lines on the ground. No one was injured.įirefighters sprayed multiple hose lines onto the second-floor interior of the home, where they encountered heavy fire and partially collapsed roof. Neighbors told firefighters the house was unoccupied at the time – except for a dog that firefighters rescued.
