BSA Lightning description

A beautifully restored, matching numbers, 1972 BSA Lightning. The list is long: .030 over size bore, new pistons, valves, guides, springs, cylinder painted, gasket surfaces cleaned, new gaskets, carbs, wiring harness, and turn signals, the pressure release valve, oil tank, oil filter and sump filter cleaned, changed all engine, primary and transmission oil, new coils, spark plugs and battery, replaced rear drive chain and sprocket, new tail light bulb and front fender, and replaced the reserve gas tap and all gas hoses. It drives better than it looks!! I can send you a video of me starting and riding the BSA if you contact me by email at jlucic@cogeco.ca.

A man who was at one time the highest paid actor in Hollywood, he avoided the limelight in favor of immersing himself within his passion for motorcycles.
