Hello guys: A few weeks ago I forumed in about my "new" 1968 BSA Starfire single 250cc with 5,400 original miles. You all responded "we want pictures". I hate to admint this, but I do have pictures on my computer, but I don't know how to insert them here. My secretary couldn't even figure it out.
My excuse: I'm way older than the BSA.
But, now I really need your help!
Bike looks original and perfect, however, it's taking me 35 minutes to kick it over before it starts. My leg is falling off & my valve surgery doesn't like it. Electronic ignition?
Is that where I should start? Also, bike only has center stand. It's too darn heavy for me to get her up on that. Side stand? Where can I get one?
I hope you guys can help me, because here in St. louis. A British Motorcycle is an oxymoron.
Bowing down in thanks in advance.
