Bridgestone BS175 New member

Hi
My name is Dicky (real name Richard - not to get it confused). I've just bought a 1968 BS175. I'm looking to find parts and advice from other members. Any good links or sites would be great.  P.S. I live in the UK!

Dick,

Welcome to the site.

Be sure to download a manual and parts book from this site.

Check with Richard Clark for the parts you may need. He is
the best source.

Enjoy the site and the great advice that is available from the members.
All you have to do is ask.

   Hi Dick.
            There are UK members on this site, me included, who have a strong interest in BS bikes, mainly the 350 GTR but also a small number with the 175. You'll soon get to know us. Most parts have to come from the states via Ebay, our own classified section or Richard Clark.
     Did you get the Ebay bike, recently for sale in Brighton, I think.
 Good luck and let us know how you are getting on.
