BSA Golden Flash description

Up for sale is a remarkable 1954 BSA Golden Flash. Everything can be seen from the attached pictures are BSA factory accessories. A photo copy of the catalog with part numbers will come together with the bike. A few things worth to mention:

- Handle bar riser is added. A cigarette lighter, turn signal switch, and on/off key are on the riser.
- Rocket shape turn signal lights, very seldom can be seen.
- Throttle lock and engine kill switch on handle bar.
- Crash guard.
- Factory cargo rack.
- Factory back seat grab bar with BSA logo.
- Fog lights and turn signal lights.
- External oil filter is added.
- Leather saddle bags.

All accessories are from BSA and from the '50s. It is indeed a good representation of that era. 

The bike is ridable except for two things. The carburetor is leaking a bit because the gasket is too old. The wiring harness needs to be worked on to have the accessories working. A British bike mechanic replaced the harness a few year back, but he did not connect everything. Last time it was used was in 2011. It is in non-op since. The oil is also drained. 

I can start the bike if someone has interest to see it in person. I am in Cupertino, California.

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

The 1967 BSA Royal Star 650 has a special place in the heart of the Piano Man, Billy Joel — it was the first motorcycle he ever had. As time went on and Joel’s career blossomed, the love for motorcycles only grew. In fact, Joel even has his own motorcycle shop.

Man Builds Sidecar from Bathtub

Thu, 23 Apr 2009

Back in 1997, an unusual motorcycle appeared on the front page of the Bristol Evening Post. Unable to afford a costly traditional sidecar, bus driver Alan Iles of Bedminster opted to build his own, using a bathtub. Twelve years later, the 1959 650cc BSA is still going and has been ridden all over Europe to help raise money for Cancer research and various charities, for which he has raised thousands of British pounds.
