READER’S RIDE:
CHUCK GOODALL
1943 BSA WM20
It is a 1943 BSA WM20, used as a dispatch bike
during the war. It has a 500cc single cylinder, side
valve 4 stroke engine. It produces 13 bhp at 4,200
rpm. The transmission is a 4 speed, chain driven.
Vintage Steel of Chickasha, OK did the body work
and paint. Any replacement parts are OEM from
Classic Motorcycle Spares in the United King-
dom. I painted the bike to my taste, as many were
repainted after they left the factory, depending on
where they were shipped. The saddle bags are
original with new tabs for the brackets. Thanks for
looking.
