Yep, the 71 BSA, like the 650 Triumph uses the Oil In Frame configuration...no sidebag oil tank. I would keep it as is and ride it as a special. Those are indeed Yamaha XS 650 special wheels, forks, brakes, and headlamp and the handling and braking is probably much better than the OE BSA stuff. Get some 69 BSA mufflers and I think you would have an acceptable bike....get the sidecovers and a Lucas headlamp and taillamp assy, and Smiths Instruments and it would be aesthetically better.
Take a look at the kickstart mechanism, maybe just the cotter. The pedal seems to be drooping.
The fuel tank is a gem. Looks like a Goldstar or RGS tank.
