Britbike forum Forums British Motorcycle specific Brands Bsa bulletin board BSA B50 forks FIT on a B44

Hi all, New here. Can I ask what's involved to get a set of B50 triple clamps/forks to fit on a B44 head/frame. Would really appreciate some advice. Thanks Gav

They sell a conversion kit……BSA Unit Singles should have them.

I did it a long time ago and had to make up some shims/adapters to accept the different bearings……much simpler now.

Thanks Gordon, I'll take a look.

Did it to one of my B44s, well worth it.



In this vid he didn't use the kit ...... much simpler to use one! he also kept the original wheel.
I did it this way initially, but soon changed to a conical hub and 21" wheel, again simpler and well worth doing.

It does not look as though he made his adapters long enough to accommodate the bearing seals. I've done a couple of these conversions and I make the adapters longer with a tapered top hat as shown here:



The top hat portion has to be chamfered on top and bottom to clear the triple clamps, but comes out better looking as well.
