Hello,
I recently acquired this Standard motorcycle, and want to make sure what I have. It is listed as a 1931 BT500. I am hoping someone can help confirm this, and give me a bit more info as to it's origin.
I was able to get the bike started and actually rode it a bit, but then discovered quite a lot of things that made me want to stop riding and protect the bike.
The motor case has a lot of poorly repaired cracks, but I was able to find another engine (thanks Peter Roher!), so I am starting the process of making one very good engine from the 2. Any technical information on the 500CCIOE MAG, the Hurth transmission (I think this is a Hurth), and anything else that is pertinent. It's a fabulous motorcycle....she deserves to be on the road, not sitting in a warehouse, and I am determined to get her going again.
Thank you for allowing me into this forum, and I will post some updates as they happen.
