cheers from Pasadena CA USA

I have a curious A7 I had running, horrible noise, now need to open up and get running again.  That's for the tech section, but for here, hello from Pasadena CA, USA.  Attached are some pictures of my 1955 A7, which for the sharper eyes will see some anomalies.

I’ve been told it’s Japanese, and was on the bike when I got it.  I have the original BSA front wheel currently hanging in the garage.

Hey ya Greybeard.  The first long ride for this bike was the DGR in Los Angeles 2019.  She ran great to the Greek Theatre, the starting point, but when starting her for the actual ride, she was pissing gas all over.  Turns out the float had a crack and filled with fuel, so a no float float. Haha!
