I joined up a few months ago and have now just completed my combination build. It's a 1969 BSA Starfire rolling chassis fitted with a Suzuki DRZ400 engine (ex-CCM I believe) and completed with a Steib S501 sidecar. I've made all fittings myself, had the chair painted to match the bike at a local paintshop, and am very happy with the result.

Welcome aboard Ian, Wow very nice work, pretty cool that you fitted a suzuki motor into the BSA. How does it handle?

Looks beautiful.  I like all the attention to detail.  Really makes the rig stand out. 🤩 


Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃
