    Pretty sure thats how Hugh Anderson started out.
    My father had a swingarm B33 with a goldie tank and clubmans head light set up. GS pattern guards etc (An iron Star)
    Std cam and heavy flywheels though you used to shut the throttle and it still went just as fast.

    The Plunger A10 engine in the A65 is a nicer bike to ride 2 inches shorter sweeter steering far smoother.
    Pretty sure the Mo Haley frames that most of the cams B33 GS tune race bikes had here, were a couple of inches shorter.

    one of the lads when I was a young teen had the Starfire 500 single, cant remember exactly what he'd done, but it had a big carb, cam's and a goldie pipe on it,,, certainly didnt go too bad.... WHEN it was going
