Custom BSA Tracker

This exceptional piece of handiwork comes from one of our first customers based in New Zealand. He has hand crafted his own parts and modified others to fit so that nearly ever component is custom. Mike says  "the standard oil filtration on these bikes is designed to trap sparrows, bits of piston or con-rod and slow moving boy scouts. Anything smaller is considered acceptable. Not now tho’! I have mounted a paper type unit tucked up under the swing arm pivot and plumbed that in with big sized tubes. Now the oil will be properly filtered and the motor will not need to accommodate the ‘soup’ that originally would have passed through its vital organs."  I like the way this one stays true to the style and the updated technology looks as if it grew there....nice
