BSA Other description

1937 BSA 1937 BSA 500 Sports - Empire Star.In reality, with engine number HM22, this is a "Sports" in Empire Star clothing. The machine is in fabulous condition having been restored to a very high standard by the previous owner almost 15 years ago. Having said that - the inside of the fuel tank could use a re-coat. The only deviation from standard trim on this one is the previous owner’s fitment of a non-standard, heavy duty spring for the front forks (he was a pretty heavy guy and rode the machine).
