Story of my 1939 BSA M21 M20

Some random pictures from the 5 months restoration of my '39 BSA M21. Eventhough she is now ready and driving i still will change minor details for parts i couldnt find during the restoration. That why you also see that first i had reproduction grips and later the orginals. Same as for the levers. This particular model was build in 1939 and destined for Egypt. But since the war started there was a recall to the War Department in London. Would be great if she could share all her stories.
Thanks for watching

Thanks for sharing your bike restoration. Fabulous. I’ve done the same on my ES2 restoration. Great to see the oldies still on the road after all these years

thanks, great work on bike and photos. I've had a '40 m20 (which came from Egypt) in the shop for years, getting a part here and a part there without much to show for it. I laced the wheels and assembled her into a roller, engine and gearbox together. you've inspired me to get to it--today-and move it along. I've been making things I can't find in the spirit of the resourceful Egyptian mechanics who made so many gaskets and small metal parts, I'm continuing that. so mine won't look factory fresh but may resemble one you'd have seen in the desert during the war. thanks again, John

A labour of love, what a smashing job you`ve done, Thanks for sharing, They were still using M20s in the British Army in southern England in 1975 and i passed my motorcycle test on one when i was 24, a long story. I bought a new Royal Enfield 500 classic in gun metal with military style canvas panniers 6months ago and im constantly being stopped wherever i go by old guys reminiscing and mums with children they love it and so do i.

There are two types of people in the bike world Robby. One who ride a BSA M21 war bike. Another one who wishes he can ride a BSA M21! Nice one Rob, bringing history back to life, you make the Brits proud.

Robby, that's a real inspiration; thank you. I'm (slowly) building a WM21 that left the factory in May 1940. It's army number is close to yours (C4191619). Mine was due for the Dutch army under contract C7370, but didn't make it in time and was also redirected to the War Department. I'd be interested in any history you may discover about your bike. I know that mine was destined for either Colchester or Carrick, but nothing more. Keep her going! Craig

Awesome video and great restoration - your video really excites me. I have a WM20 myself that I imported from the US in 2013. It's not in good shape and I'd love to do the same restoration to it, you did here. Man, I could learn so much from your experience on it... I have like 1000 questions on your process there. Like, what kind of primer did you use? And why did you paint the inside of the primary chain housing and the clutch dome? Isn't it partially filled with oil? Where did you get these fresh looking oil pipes for the oil tank, or did you reproduce them yourself? Theres so much more... xD Well done mate, I really admire your work there.

@Robby163460 5 жыл бұрын

Fan tomas primer is just a good quality oxide primer. Just the primary is a bit filler with oil. No reason why it is painted. I think from factory it is also painted. Oil lines you can buy new/old/repro etc. As long as the function it is good for me. I think i painted them green. But removed the paint again since they were just cadmeded
