HOW MANY OHMS FOR A 70 E BODY FUEL GAUGE
Hi, I'm putting a fuel cell in my 70 Cuda and would like to put a sending unit in it, does anybody know how many OHMS the stock gauge requires?

Hi Stinkwheell, the 450 is worldwide, nobody knows for sure the exact number. Records for the last year of BSAs have been lost. I bought my first one new in 72 and was told that 10 came into Canada. I think the number is lower than 450, I bought this one a couple of years ago out of Oregeon and according to the serial number it was made in September and was the 227th made and they stoped making them in November, but 450 is the generally accepted estimate. If you go to this link there's a piture from a pretty respected auction of thier ad on one and some pics of mine. The color is wrong but I also have a copy of a ad for one showing the correct color. I'm going to have it repainted to the correct color. http://s229.photobucket.com/albums/e...d490/?start=40

ahhh interesting, i never realised so few BSA's were made. My girlfriends parent live about 15 mins from small heath where the BSA factory was. My dads always ridden british bikes (currently has a velocette venom) But i find them getting too damn expensive these days. So i ride what i can afford now (currently a yamaha Radian)

Yeah there was very few Rocket 3s made that last year, the leftover frames and motors went to Triumph and became the XR75 Hurricane in 73, a very cool bike. The difference between the Trident and Rocket was the Rocket had a 4 speed and two down tubes on the frame and the primary chain adjuster in a different place also the cylinders were leaned forward on the Rocket to allow a bigger air box. Hard to belive they were the first "superbike" with 64 bhp compared to todays bikes.

yeah, i saw 'slippey sam' a few times at parade laps and stuff in the 80's and 90's That was a production TT winder several years in a row in the 70's. I think that had a bit more than 64hp though 
I always wanted the craig vetter designed X75, still blows my mind

no worries mate, tell me about the 80 Harley...I have a 53 Rigid with a 73 Shovel in it and the goal is to make a 70's era chopper. nothing on it that you wouldnt find back in 73. No billet or ***** like that. The neck is raked and got about 6+ inches in the downtubes, laced my own wheels. Powdercoat black rims and hubs with stainless spokes, really pops! Waiting on the $ for the 3" open primary belt drive to pull the whole thing together.

Hi Scott, it's a FLT bagger, I've done quite a bit with it. It had a dash up between the handle bars, I change that and put it in the center of the tank and put side fillers on it. Put on a Road King headlight, lower it 1 1/2 inche, hypercharger air filter and CV carb, spoke wheels and painted it House of Kolours candy Brandywine. I don't ride it much anymore, the V-Rod is my favorite. Stupid fast (110hp at the wheel) and handles so nice. I've tried to upload some pics but I'm having trouble.
