Hello Nev, This one is for sale at www.motorfietsweb.nl fill in BSA and look through the pages, I think page 2 (depending on your pc)
The ad is called "Triumph BSa enzo"
He wants a rather steep 75 Euro for it. Vincent

I did not notice before but he has put the fra,enumber in the ad. XG15843 so that's a WNG frame.
On the www I came across his website (cant retrace it now) There was a close uo of the crankcase.
The letters are almost polished out, perhaps they are LB , numbers 1520.
LB is '55

Is this a Ariel field stand?

(I will try now to upload a photo, .....................)

This is a more complete link : http://www.arcar.org/motosantiguas.aspx and then type Ariel in the right hand search pad and click 'buscar'

Saw a very incomplete (engine-K7731/frame-K8295 /gearbox/chaincase) OHV 1930 Ariel (500?) on www.arcar.org
type 'Ariel' in the search pad Vincent

Looks like some clever sods are laundering their money............

Hi Nev, You mean the stand itself? I only have the frame.
I would guess these stands are being reproduced by someone?
Vincent

I have a WNG frame with this side stand point near the left hand saddle spring.
As I dont want this thing sticking out (and dont need this large side stand at all) I plan to take it off.
Probaly brazed on? with a few pins? would drilling out these pins and heating it up do the trick?

Vincent

Did you actually looked into the carb inlet when it went revving?
To cancel out a 'misbehaviour' of the slide I would look there first.
Just a thought.................

regards, Vincent

Hello All, Anybody knows the design philosophy behind the difference in angle (in horizontal) between a iron single port 500 head and a twin port head?
All I know is that a twin port has the better sound (as in noise for some) from it's twin pipes, but that ofcourse is debatable.....
Vincent.
