hi there
I am really struggling getting hold of missing parts for my Starfire at a sensible price! there are lots of people advertising their wears in all the magazines but they charge an arm and a leg! I am one of the golden oldies looking to cure my mid-life crisis by returning to biking after 30 years but at this rate it’s going to cost me in the region of £1500 to get my bike back on the road!
Things like mudguards – £75 = for one! one stay, only one, £35 !
I know we all have to make a living but surely………….
If anyone out there has a basket case B25 or Triumph 250- I would love to hear from you as it will be cheaper for me to buy another bike than trying THE DEALERS !!

I notice you’re in Halifax. In Birmingham there is a treasure of a place called C and D Autos. They are a family firm and specialise in BSA’s. Maybe you’ve heard of them? I have no affiliation with the shop but I remember going in there 20 years ago and they had everything for every BSA! May be worth a try if you haven’t already. Good luck and let us know if you are after anything in particular, post a free advert in the Buy and Sell section.
