Add Your Photos!
i found at an autojumble a cylinder and a two port head of a BSA M22 but there was no bottom end so i used a B31 one. I was used all my old BSA spares to create a 1938 racer everything I used is BSA only two pushrod tubes thy are from a ES2 they are hollow. Gold star piston and cams . The back frame and the giderfork I get from my frends is Blue Star. I take the coller of the empire star.
Great work – wanna build me a house????

Lovely looker, bet that pipe sounds nice.
Well done!!. I like the colors.
That is just TOO cool. Love it. I want to make my 1913 Raleigh into something special, too. Hope I can do as good a job as you have.,…..though I doubt it.
That’s very nice, we need more specials, all these perfect original spec resto’s are getting boring, I’ve just got hold of an engine, its got M22 bottom end & has a 38 M24 all alloy top end on it :O , may keep it & build a special aswell.
Your right we have so many spare parts you better can built a special and ride it than let the spares in the garage I have also have a very original never restored BSA M23 1940 that i will never restore only ride it. I will put some pictures on this site.
right on pj, couldnt agree more, and what alot of these stock standard restoration types seem to forget is motorcycles have allways been customised by their owners, its been a part if motorcycling since day 1. Personally i think that ya cant get much cooler than a pre war special either
Looks cool, nice job! I have a 39 M22 with crankcase cracked beyond repair….
Did yor M22 barrel fit straight on to the B31 case?
Arvid It will fit you can even put your M22 flywheels into the B31 cases for normal road use.
Hi, I’ve noticed your post from 2011, however there is chance that still you have cracked crankcase JM22 engine, my question is if cam side casting (part number 65-1572) survived maybe? Do you want sell, one , both? Looking forward. Cheers Robert
I have a spare M22 bottom end, which came with my M23 I brought last week

Hi there bloody stunning great work, am building a b26 special at the moment, was my grandfathers and all it had left was engine and front frame, its gunna be a special/bitsa. Am curious what tank is that? Most pre war tanks i am finding have the instrument panel i dont want, love your bike enjoy it
Very nice special. Use those parts!
Tank looks to be 4 gall M20 early WD type- also used on some civilian models I think
