I think that girder bike may be a b 31 or a bigger model

 that girder is used on many Brit models, friction disc on the side but no real damping.

 fairly similar to an Indian sport scout fork

Yes, exactly like this.

Probably a repost but still my favorite bike to date, beautiful in every way.

Yup Burt was awesome!

March 25, 1899
Herbert (Burt) James Munro, a New Zealand motorcycle racer, was born in Invercargill. He is famous for setting an under-1000cc world record, 183.586 mph (295.453 km/h), at Bonneville in 26 August 1967. This record still stands today. Burt Munro was 68 and was riding a 47-year old machine when he set his last record.
Working from his home in Invercargill, he worked for 20 years to highly modify the 1920 Indian motorcycle which he had bought in 1920. Munro set his first New Zealand speed record in 1938 and later set seven more. He travelled to compete at the Bonneville Salt Flats, attempting to set world speed records. During his ten visits to the salt flats, he set three speed records, one of which still stands today. His efforts, and success, are the basis of the motion picture The World's Fastest Indian (2005), starring Anthony Hopkins, and an earlier 1971 short documentary film Burt Munro: Offerings to the God of Speed– both directed by Roger Donaldson.

The other of Burts bikes which should have received a lot more publicity than it did was a 1936 MSS 500cc Velocette.
As you can see by the photo it was lightened and lowered in true Munro style to be under 200 pounds in weight.

I would have loved to been there when he ran his first run just to see the jaws drop. Just amazing that a shade tree mechanic with homemade parts and tools would actually have the ability to build such a beast.

i'll have to check but this looks like it might have been one featured in the documentary, done in the 70's, by the man who did the feature film of burt; it's in the additional/special features of the dvd.

the bubble fly screen looks familiar. in the doc he at one point simply picks the bike off the ground to spin it in the other direction.

Frank was close when he said it was a B31, It's a BSA ZB31 Gold Star.

It looks like somebody modified one of these.

I'm sure this has been posted before (and probably more than once), but it is so beautiful it deserves to be posted again.  I never really liked farings before, but I like the one on this bike so much that I'm really considering putting one on my bike.

[nobody]

What fairing is that? I might have to add one of those to my wish list.

That is the "New Blue" and it is a titanium Duc, neat article about Cook Neilson

[Ricky_Racer]

That seat design is called a "cutlass" and Air-Tech has several sizes available. RR
