BSA Lightning 650 description

This is not a "restored" bike. I've just taken fairly good care of it over the years. Except for the exhaust, seat (from a '71) and right carb, all the rest is pretty much original. Both fenders look good at first, but if you look closer, the front fender has little lines in it Kind of like if you outlined congressional districts in Texas and looked at it from low orbit. The rear one has probably thousands of little pit holes. Think poppy fields from afar. I did a bad job on the tank when I painted it last. It needs a good cleaning and a battery. If there's a winning bid, I'll deduct $40. I spun the crank in 1990. When I got it all back together, it started second kick. It usually will. Last started this spring. Good machine. Local pick-up only.
