G,day,
Been watching this forum for years now, finally decided to take the jump & sign up.
I've had beesa's most of my life ( since I was 14) starting out with a 1962 gold flash. That was a very power full bike for a young bloke then. Still riding nearly every day but on a B33 at the moment. Plenty of A10/7's in bits awaiting re- assembly. 1st project off the rank will be a ridged A10.
Hopefully I may be able to help with some of the problem solving, there seems to be quite a few that didn't even get a second thought back in the day.
Thanks to the organizers of this forum its a great service.
Cheers ironhead.
PS : every beesa I've ever owned has been an ironhead

Welcome ironhead, I have one with alloyhead that was original cast head, summer will see it back to standard, bit of a waste of time as I don't use the extra performance gained from head cam and so forth, although I enjoyed all of the work, suppose basically wasting time on old motorcycles is what we like doing
All the best - Bill
1961 Flash - stock, reliable, steady, fantastic for shopping
1959 Rocket Gold Flash - blinged and tarted up  would have seizure if taken to  Tesco
