BSA Golden Flash description

Up for sale is a remarkable 1954 BSA Golden Flash. Everything can be seen from the attached pictures are BSA factory accessories. A photo copy of the catalog with part numbers will come together with the bike. A few things worth to mention:

- Handle bar riser is added. A cigarette lighter, turn signal switch, and on/off key are on the riser.
- Rocket shape turn signal lights, very seldom can be seen.
- Throttle lock and engine kill switch on handle bar.
- Crash guard.
- Factory cargo rack.
- Factory back seat grab bar with BSA logo.
- Fog lights and turn signal lights.
- External oil filter is added.
- Leather saddle bags.

All accessories are from BSA and from the '50s. It is indeed a good representation of that era. 

The bike is ridable except for two things. The carburetor is leaking a bit because the gasket is too old. The wiring harness needs to be worked on to have the accessories working. A British bike mechanic replaced the harness a few year back, but he did not connect everything. Last time it was used was in 2011. It is in non-op since. The oil is also drained. 

I can start the bike if someone has interest to see it in person. I am in Cupertino, California.

The 2014 edition of the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show continued its now 23-year tradition as the premier outdoor streetbike event in America with producer photographer Jim Gianatsis moving the show this year to the beautiful green lawns of the Malibu Golf Course among the twisty canyon roads in the Santa Monica Mountains alongside the Pacific Ocean.

Taking Best of Show in this year’s Calendar Bike Building Championship was Calin Senciac’s Imagine Vehicles International / ImagineVehicles.com motorsports fabrication shop with an incredible custom billet aluminum designed chassis built by Terry Ward and the shop crew, housing a legendary 1979 Honda CBX 1047cc air-cooled in-line 6-cylinder engine.
