Title: Transfers for 1961 Golden Flash
Post by: Jhg1958 on 18 Feb, 2021, 19:55
I am nearly ready to go to the painters with my bike having dry assembled (and disassembled) every part more than four times. The plan is paint the bike blue.  Yes I have seen all the comments on the correct shade of Nutley blue. 

I realise the transfers need to be under the lacquer, so off to the BSAOC web site to order a set.  Is it just me or is the page a little confusing?  Perhaps I should not be surprised for a BSA.

Anyway I think I have come up with a list, but I think I need some help.  I have decided not to put a transfer of the tank.  The winged "Golden Flash" is not to my taste.   The Amal Air Filter cleaning no longer applies as I have changed the air filter and I can not see the point of the instructions to change the oil.

So I have produced a list of possibles and highlighted the ones plan to buy in red.  I would welcome suggestions or corrections. I certainly could do with advice where to put the minimum oil level.

23   Min Oil Level, gold   Oil tank pre 1963
25   Piled Arms, gold   No. plate bridge - pre 1963
30   CC Marking   Fix below transfer No 25
27   Piled Arms & Garter, Motorcycles   Oil tank, tool box. 1953 - 63
120   Cleaning   Amal air filters 1948 - 62
57   Made in England   Various
105   650 Twin    Rear No plate - A10
68   BSA G/Flash   Rear mudguard A10GF
53   Winged Gold Flash    Tank
106   Refill details    Oil Tank 1920/30


Many thanks
