Title: BSA C15 Conversion Project - From Box of Bits to a Motorcycle
Post by: Julie on 20 Jun, 2021, 16:15
Hi All

In March this year, in a flurry of over-enthusiam and over-optimism, I bought a box of bits from a friend, who advised me if I put them together, it would result in a BSA C15! I began identifying the missing bits but still have a few to buy, like a front mudguard, but I am making progress, courtesey of Ebay, Facebook and autojumbles.

I estimate it will take 2 years at the current progress, which is slightly faster than snail's pace, but not quite as fast as a striking slug.

My first bike was a C15, back in the day, so the pursuit of nostalgia is maintaining my focus and determination to overcome the technical challenges

Hi Julie,

Welcome to the BSAOC Forum and back to BSA ownership.  This Forum can be a good place to find parts and why not join the BSAOC and get access to the info in the Members Area of the website.  Also, find your local BSAOC Branch.  A great place to meet like minded enthusiasts and help with projects.

Dave.

Thanks Dave, I have joined BSAOC and will soon be asking questions about fork seals, speedo repairs, and much, much more.
