Decided to 'upgrade' the stainless steel bento box on the rear loop of the BSA, to be able to carry a chain lock.

A simple way to make a protector that will:-
Stop small stone chips

My B50 turns out to have an oversize barrel and piston. Does anyone recognise this modification? Where did the piston come from & is this 'up-sizing' a recognised mod? Any help / advice would be appreciated. UPDATE: Based on advice from the B50 Forum (www.b50.org), the engine has had a 580cc Big Bore Kit fitted. Developed by BSA USA it uses a "Jahns" piston & LA Liners liner :)

These fans looked good in terms of specification and on-line reviews. My experience was bad though, with two fans arriving with the same swollen battery problem.
