Things to do on this bike sooner rather than later:
Return it to one of the correct BSA colours for the year.....will more than likely go the black route rather than the met red or gun metal, most were black in the UK.
Get some western bars on it as BSA intended. Those Scandinavian bars are a little too high and dare I say ugly.
Get a more credible vintage number plate. Chestnut registrations are on it.
Get the seat recovered with a nice looking OEM cover, on this already.
