Gold Star LYTA tank
« on: 08 May, 2018, 16:29:11 »
I have had a LYTA tank since 1980 and it was on my A65 Spitfire which had the top yoke handlebar mounts cut off and clip-ons so it would fit. I have finally got around to restoring the Spitfire and it is a shame to have the tank dented to miss the yoke so I have decided it would have a better use to a Gold Star owner.
I have had the tank to www.motorcycledentremoval.co.uk and he has taken a couple of dents out (without any cutting and re welding) and the tank has been polished but not to within an inch of its life to retain some marks that a fifty year old plus tank has gained over the years.
The LYTA sticker has worn off many years ago but everyone who has seen the tank says it is a genuine tank and reproduction LYTA marks are available.
Are any BSA owners willing to help me verify the tank against theirs.
I have not advertised it so would be interested in what you think it may be worth.
Thanks for any help or comments in advance.
Just filled the forms out to join the club.
