Title: BSA Bantams :- contacts for Help and parts required
Post by: Hoony on January 18, 2010, 04:58:30 pm: G'day Guys.

can anyone supply contacts for parts/info and help to restore a BSA Bantam for a Friend of a Friend. Idealy he is looking for someone to restore this with him.

He has recently taken possession of a Bantam from a family member in the UK and is not a bike person (has no bike knowledge, but is a mechanical engineer) and wants to restore it as it was his Wifes Grandfathers bike and has sentimental value.

I would prefer suppliers and contacts in Victoria.

Post by: Freakshow on January 18, 2010, 07:55:21 pm: Leith - What about the local guy that has all the rubber , decal, wiring and pegs etc etc actually i dont think there is anything he doesnt have.

HE's that mechanic at Peter stevens in the city and sells the books etc as well, he would have the details if its not him as he is always set up with them at the swap meets, try find you a number.

Post by: TM BILL on January 19, 2010, 07:47:46 am: Hoony thats a D175 last of the Bantams :) its simillar to the D14 model , most visible difference is the centralisied spark plug.

D14 Bushman is a Bantam farm / trail bike and looks quite different .
