Description
1972 BSA A65 THUNDERBOLT FOR SALE. THIS IS AN AMERICAN IMPORT, BUT IS NOW REGISTERED AS A HISTORIC VEHICLE IN UK WITH A V5 IN MY NAME WITH MATCHING FRAME AND ENGINE NUMBERS.. TAX AND MOT EXEMPT.
VERY TIDY BIKE IN GOOD RUNNING ORDER, AND ENGINE RUNS VERY NICELY WHEN RIDDEN. ENGINE HAS BEEN STRIPPED DOWN AND HAS HAD NEW BIG END SHELLS, SLUDGE TRAP REMOVED AND CLEANED OUT AND NEW VANDERVELL MAIN BUSH BEARING FITTED AND LINE REAMED . CRANKSHAFT AND BARRELS ARE STILL STANDARD WITH NEW RINGS FITTED TO ORIGINAL BSA PISTONS . NEW BATTERY . REMOTE OIL FILTER FITTED, GOOD TYRES. REV COUNTER WORKS BUT IS WRONG RATIO , SPEEDO WORKS BUT IS NOT THAT ACCURATE. ALL LIGHTS AND HOOTER WORK. VERY GOOD FRONT WHEEL RIM, REAR IS A LITTLE RUSTY BUT PERFECTLY USABLE. THIS BIKE IS NICE AND TIDY BUT NOT RESTORED.
BIKE IS LOCATED ON THE DEVON/ CORNWALL BORDER.
What’s app or text the details below. Imported from America about 2 years ago, I have gradually tidied up and used the bike since, sorting out any issues that came to light whilst riding.
Parts are readily available. Quite rare to find an old BSA with such an unmolested engine, I can’t prove but from what I observed inside this has had very little use over the last 50 years.
