Making progress on the 1966 BSA Victor Enduro. The Victor is a great machine. This version has some rather scarce items, which make the bike stand out. The fiberglass air box, round cylinder barrel... We'll keep you posted on the finished machine!

We finished the motor a while ago, now it's time to get the bike completely road worthy. Lovely machine to ride. Wouldn't you like yours to be in this condition?

In addition to British and Spanish motorcycles, we also restore aircraft! Here we are extracting a repair section of a landing gear and engine mount structure for a Beech C-45. We work on all sorts of tubing - aircraft parts, motorcycle frames. Great fun!

Oil leak found on an otherwise immaculate, original BSA A65 OIF. That drip is coming from the weld area of the swing-arm attachment! This is a box-stock, non modified bike. So, clearly a factory defect weld. Has anyone else found these frames to have a bad weld leading to a crack and leak in the oil-bearing frame? It's a first for us in over 40 years...

Not so much a restoration as a resuscitation! See our previous post and photos of when the bike came in, and here it is as delivered. Cleaned up, made presentable and very ride-able. New rubber and a lot of polishing in the right places, and a little delicate painting.

New in the shop is a wonderful time capsule! A 1972 BSA A65T Thunderbolt. Original and largely untouched, each detail tells a little history lesson. From all indications, the mileage on this may well be accurately represented on the speedo.
The tires are for sure, original. We are bringing this bike up to riding standard, and in one of the photos you can see the inner tube we pulled from the front is clearly the OEM 'Dunlop Air Seal'.
We are just going to replace rotted rubber, all oils, and any other safety-related items. No new paint, no electronic ignition. Just the way it was meant to be.

Yes, we do repair capillary temperature gauges! We take your old broken gauge, test the head to make sure it functions, and graft on a new capillary tube and bulb. Your gauge will work like new, and we can vary the length of the tube as well. Check out our flyer at www.gold-star-llc.com/services/

New in the shop: 1967 BSA Spitfire and a 1966 BSA Victor Enduro. Both are runners, but need some care restorative efforts. The Spitfire will need a general cosmetic preservation while the Victor will need some parts sourced, and frame issues repaired. If these were yours, what would you do?
