I built one in the seventies, featherbed frame,nine stud bonny engine with all the usual mods. I agree with S Clarke, not enough photo's. Goldie exhausts nice gurgle when throttling off.

He took great pleasure in taking me(a mod with a scooter)for rides in our lunch break at un-nerving speeds and angles of cornering. He and his fellow rocker mates used to frequent Johnsons Cafe at the top of Death Hill near Brands Hatch and of course decend at top speed - happy days Your artical takes me back to my apprentiship days in the sixties when a fellow apprentice, a rocker called Graham Spencer, owned a beautiful BSA 500cc Gold Star with clip on handlebars, racing tank and seat.
