THESE EARLY WAR BSA BIKES ARE HANDSOME MACHINES WITH THE LARGE TANKS AND 8″ LUCAS HEADLIGHTS .
BADGED TO 2 CORP WHO WERE PART OF B.E.F IN 1939.

THE 1″ C NUMBER , THE UNIQUE BIKES ARMY NUMBER WAS ON NEAR SIDE ONLY AT THIS TIME .
NOTICE THE ENGINE PLATE COVERS – QUICKLY DELETED BY EARLY 1940.
THE FORKS ARE THE PRE WAR SHORT FORK WITH RUBBER MOUNTED HANDLE BARS . ALSO A CENTRAL DAMPER SYSTEM WITH A LARGER KNOB .
A GOOD PICTURE OF ADJUSTER ON SIDE , I LIKED IT SO LEFT IT ON.
THE FRONT BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTER USES THE HOLE THAT PEOPLE THINK IS FOR A SPARE PLUG ! IT WAS NOT !
