Nice, complete 1974 BSA b50"mx" (500cc single cylinder)
Originally came with a high front fender and a 21" wheel, but was converted for more street use with a standard fender and 19" front wheel.
Has been sitting in my shed for approx. 6 months since I bought it, but need to make space.
The first week I had it, I cleaned out the tank and carb and was able to hear it run. Petcocks are gummed up and need to be replaced (I think I tossed them) tank and carb have been sitting empty since then. No rust in tank as its aluminum.
Light project for someone who wants a close to original bike to just clean and tune up, or a good platform for a full restoration.
Gas tank has one minor dent on left side and one proper dent on the front right side (pictured)
Seat is in very good shape
Nothing rotted out
Electronic ignition and capacitor type battery replacement were installed by a previous owner
Tires are old
I do not have an original title, but a copy along with documents from the estate sale where the previous owner bought the bike.
Selling bike for what I paid for it - price is firm
