 All right I gave up on you guys and Googled it. It's a side valve, type in bsa m21 the pics that come up right away there's a nice silver and black bobber. I have a nice one gallon peanut tank that I might be persuaded to part with.

Wayne please don't give Dennis ideas. He is finally taking the right direction o restoration instead of butchering up a beautiful machine a BSA M21. They are a part of history. Some buddy should start a club called THEE BOBBER BUTCHERING BOYS The BSA M21 stock will ride and show class at any event. Bobbers are a dime a dozen that is one mans opinion.     THE BRITISH BULLDOG

  Haven't seen it yet -was under the impression it was already " bastardized". Have to get over there soon.

Fast One Wayne old buddy - I feel you did a awesome job at Stu's funeral.  I personally want to thank you and you took a lot of weight off of my shoulders.  I also feel the club is lucky to have someone like you.   I want to thank you again.

Thanks Steve for posting the pictures.  The ones you show have rigid frames.  Mine has the plunger suspension.  Mine had been bastardized, but not beyond repair.  It had a non-stock seat (understatement) and the rear fender and stays have been bobbed off.  I have ordered a replacement Layette type seat already and am snooping around for a replacement fender and stays.  There are other bits I will need eventually also like the handle bars, headlight nacelle with ammeter and key switch.  The battery strap/box will likely need replacing also.

Fritz: I have seen the M21 on the Jockeyjournal, but there is another one that is even cooler.  Check this out http://www.jockeyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45347

For the purists, if I did a custom, I would completely fabricate my own frame.  There is no way I would butcher any of the good parts on this ol' girl.

Still planning a "fire up the bikes" night.  Probably in November.  I am fabricating/modifying  the exhaust mounts for the 883.  If I get that done, that will be three virgins we can pop in one night:  the M21, the drag bike, and the 883. 

Peace & Grease, Dennis
