Description

A very tidy example of a genuine BSA Super Rocket, which has benefited from a rebuild in the past, with the following parts being noticeable:
Rebuilt engine - no recipts, but various replaced parts present, including pistons & rings, crankshaft & gearbox bearings etc.)
New complete clutch assembly - very light operation.
Dynamo belt drive conversion + DVR2 12 volt regulator.
Magneto rebuilt (receipt present).
Outer engine casings polished to show standard.
Sweet engine which (usually..!) starts 2nd kick from cold & 1st kick when warm, settling down to a nice steady tickover.
Fitted with an iron head, as the original alloy head required too much work to be viable, so is now part of the global recycling process....
Borrani alloy wheel rims, fitted with matched Dunlop K70 tyres (excellent tread).
New swing arm bushes.
Rear brake converted to rod operation.
Nice deep paintwork on petrol tank & oil tank and tool box.
Has not been run on the road for the last few years, although started regularly & run up to temperature.
Complete with a variety of useful spares - gaskets, cables + 2 sets of Boyer Micro Mk4 ignition + coils, mag housings & instructions.
There is also a tub of special tools.
V5C present + Haynes manual.
A genuine Super Rocket, with clear numbers.
Genuine reason for sale. No p/ exs or swaps thanks. BSA A10 models are reckoned by many to be the best 650 twin engine made, and they are noted for their smoothness and simplicity.
