Somewhere I saw a site that gives ideas and shows an SR500 that has been built with a near "BSA Gold Star" look and I have no idea where it was. Is there anybody here, that can be of assistance?
I'm considering that approach. Thanks.
Later on, Bill

Hi Bill, What gold star look do you mean...do you mean with an alloy Dow style race tank or a standard style tank...  SR  |

Hey Thanks Guys,
Checked out these sites just a bit and found them to be quite interesting. Not the one I was talking about but, interesting just the same. I WILL be checking them out better, first chance I get and , if I happen to run across rhe actual one I was talking about, I'll be sure to post it fot all to see. I one I was looking for, looks like a slightly modified old style 500 Gold Star.
Thanks again for the replies
Later on, Bill

Hallo Bill, BSAregal doesnot build them anymore due to the fact that yamaha stopped selling sr500 engines, the last ones were built last year, most of them sold to japan (imported by Daytona) i was able to buy a few leftover parts:) regards sjef PS have put a pic on the xs gallery 3 page pic 3 |

Hey sjef,
Man, I need to apologize to you. I didn't check your reply to closely and didn't give you credit for the info that you supplied. SORRY about that. When I was looking at the site, I didn't notice about the "not building anymore" thing. Too bad, course I don't figure I could afford one anyway. I tried to use that photo link that you posted and couldn't get it to work.
Thanks for the reply though, any info along this line, is appreciated.
Later on, Bill

miker,
Fantastic pictures. That XS650 looks alot like the BSA Super Rockets that I remember seeing, years ago. Those 2 Yamahas really look the part! Thanks for posting that. I couldn't swing the cost of one of those aluminum gas tanks though. I do have one that I think is off of an XT, I think. Back in the early 60's, my family knew a guy who had an old Gold Star and it wa a fine looking machine. He raced it on the flat track some. I don't know about the internal mods but the exhaust consisted of the exhaust pipe and a short open reverse cone megaphone and talk about a sweet sound! I remember seeing him harass a local cop with it and when he'd get pulled over, they'd realize that he was a cop also! Back then, he could get away with messing around like that.
Later on, Bill

Hey Bill,
I seem to recall that Thumperstuff sold some BSA-looking parts for the SR. If you're thinking of such a project, you might contact him. Do you have an SR?
See you on SOHC4.

Thanks for the info medic, you know I used to browse that place and had forgotten about it. I don't know when I can get to it but, I'd like to do either a "Gold Star" look or "Cafe Style" SR500. I have an 81' SR500 that's not running and incomplete. Yeah medic, I'm sure I'll catch you over on SOHC4. Later on, Bill |
