1971 B50SS GoldStar- best in the world better than new For Sale

Thank you for looking at my advert. I’m reducing my bike collection and find myself with some that I simply don’t ride often enough. This is for a BSA B50SS Gold star that’s been restored to a considerably better than new standard, with every available upgrade or mod to improve reliability. The bike is flawless, apart from one tiny chip in the tank, something that can be touched in, if required. The cost of this restoration was in excess of nine thousand pounds, factoring in labour at zero pounds! It’s a special, special bike, which starts first kick hot or cold, has a rock steady idle, sparkling performance and drops no oil. It has to be the best, most sorted B50 in the world. Some of the work is outlined below:

18 month restoration
Bike had covered only 7000 miles but too scruffy for the owner
Engine completely rebuilt with uprated big end, Carillo racing rod
Rebored +20 New Hepolite piston and rings
All casings polished after vapour blasting and casting flashes removed
New rocker spindles
New valves and rockers
Studs on rockers replaced with uprated stainless buttons
Rocker cover machined to allow recessed cap screws- enables head to be removed with engine still in frame
Every seal and bearing in entire bike replaced
Rocker cover breather fitted with one way valve
Clutch case breather also fitted with one way valve, resulting in ZERO oil leaks
Rocker oil feed now pressurized, rather than return, greatly improving oil supply to the head and cooler, quieter, running
Screw on oil filter mod
Sump and gearbox magnetic drain plugs
Stainless steel sump guardCompletely re-wired with auto-CAD wiring diagram , wiring precisely matches the drawing
Wired to modern standards with additional relays, fuses of correct rating
Virtually all bulbs and lights LED
Solid state reg/ rec
Lithium battery
Original switches rebuilt
Tri-spark ignition and coil
Amal premier carb
New rear shocks
Unused fork brackets removed and legs machined to remove any sign of them

Most parts re-chromed or zinc plated, many stainless fittings
Ceramic coated exhaust
Stainless chain tensioners
New chain and sprocket, largest possible front sprocket to aid cruising
OIF tank modified to utilise ALL the oil in the frame, unlike original design that only circulated about 30%
Centre stand (an extra cost option)
K&N filter
Electronic speedo and rev counter with extra functions
Most of the original parts removed from the bike are included in the sale.

I’m near Shaftesbury, Dorset, viewing is most welcome, or I can assist with low cost delivery anywhere in the UK, or abroad. I see regular B50’s regularly put up for sale now at £6500-7000, with unknown provenance and dubious handiwork, this is the best example on the planet and I think my price is fair. Thanks for looking
