Sounds a fun project but why not do it on a new(er) Enfield rather than chopping up an old BSA? Cheaper to start with and not taking an old'un out of the gene pool....
My mate's got a 46 B31 (I think) 500 Single and it's a sweet thing. They don't feel anything like newer bikes to ride. The engines are lovely, proper long stroke doffers.
-
They're weird - they could have positioned a V4, stepped down GP rep as a premium product, a la Ducati's V4. The new blade doesn't appeal at all and I agree the visual styling is wildly incoherent.
-
Meh absolutely no interest in the new blade. I'm sure it's great and all but no V4 is a yawn-ola.
-
It’s shite.
On the other hand the new Aprilia RS660 in purple could be right up my street...
-
His has one of the SC project cans. It sounds epic, and shoots flames out with a proper crack on the quick shifter. Probably where all the gas is going!
-
They weigh about the same, mine's probably a bit lighter - V4s tend to be a juicier as the rear cylinders run hotter and the EFI will be programmed accordingly. He also just stuck a loud pipe on it and I'm fairly sure it's running mega rich. So much for modern tech though, eh?
Lovely bike, nevertheless. Sounds incredible. I would.

Went out for a spin with a mate at the weekend. We both filled our tanks before we set off - after a ride out and a couple of canyons up in Malibu, we stopped for gas again. He put in 14 bucks I put in 8....He was riding his 2018 Aprilia Tuono 1100, I was on my absolutely hanging 2005 GSXR1000.
Not exactly progress!!

Yeah like mine too. The TH5 would do too, if you don’t need all the FX.

The 8sp ZF auto they seem to be sticking in everything these days is a thing of absolute beauty. Great gearbox.
I’ve driven variants of it in Dodge, Chevy and BMW and it’s a delight.
Cranked tweed deluxes are loud as fuck. Definitely loud enough to go with drums for most stuff I reckon. I still want to build my own!
