Update on the new BSA

[Greybeard]

I think this should sell well; It's not trying so hard to look like a classic BSA. The price is excellent.

Someone made this modified GS

I like the idea that we may get customized new Gold Stars.  its good to see new usual BSA and i think they get people interested in the history of BSA and the older bikes which can only be a good thing.

Someone has gone to town on this modern Gold Star.

Wonder if they just threw the radiator away? Maybe just for show. If it runs well I really like it.

Yep, with photoshop is my guess 🤭

Who would have thought people would Photoshop a TLS brake onto a bike in 2024?
They say everything comes back into fashion sooner or later.  What next?

Pity, I liked the look of it.

Maybe so, but, if so, someone had a lot of time on their hands to do it with such high production value. A competitor, perhaps, trying to make it look like BSA makes promises they don’t keep?

This image has not been photoshopped. I've seen pictures as he's been working on it. I believe the radiator is still there somewhere! When the catalytic convertor is removed it leaves a gap below the front of the engine. He has probably made a radiator to fill that gap.


 I do not get why the owner would spend loads of money and time on this bike. He might as well have bought a real classic.

Why does the front drum brake have an external hydraulic disc caliper fitted?

I believe it is fake and is just a cover over the disk brake 🤔

Well spotted, so its not a Photoshopped TLS, its fake one
The world is going mad.

i couldn't have one even if i wanted one, that oil /water pipe under the engine would be ripped off as soon as i tried to get it down the yard where i live, my yonda exhaust bottoms out if i'm not very careful and my mates bmw bottomed out the other day and yesterday worty's kwak did as well.

Heh, fortunately, my centrestand acts as a sump guard.  Bergs, you need one of those Aussie style graders to sort that road
