1963 BSA Rocket Gold Star For Sale

NOW SOLD

1963 BSA Rocket Gold Star. UK registered bike with original registration number and correct original engine and frame numbers as recorded on the original green log book.
The bike has currently done just under 4K miles since I have owned it, with the miles having been originally re-set to zero during its overhaul.
I purchase the bike in 2013 as a fully restored bike from a gentleman in Scotland, though since the purchase there have been a number of details changes I have subsequently done to the bike myself. The bike had been completely restored with full engine restoration, most of which was done by Service Exchange Parts in Derby, SEP Kegworth, a well known company for such work.
All cycle parts had been restored with many new parts as required, mudguards, chain guards, carb etc. It has been fitted with alloy rims, stainless steel spokes. It has been fitted with a solid state regulator and the mag had been overhauled.
I have fitted a solid state 6V battery fitted inside an original type rubber battery.
Both clocks were fully overhauled and it is fitted with a later SRM supplied Triumph type 4 spring, 6 plate clutch.
I have fitted a std 1st gear ratio to the bike to make it a far more easier bike to ride, original close ratio 1st and 3rd gears will be supplied with the bike, these have to be changed as a pair.
I have also fitted a lifting arm the centre stand, which can be seen in the attached photos, to make it easier to get the bike onto the stand. I have also fitted a lifting handle, attached to the top of suspension mount.
I have also fitted a pair of st/ st oil pipes with a valve in the feed side as these bike tend to wet sump.
I have also fitted a belt drive to the dynamo, see attached.
It has around 90% or more st/ st fittings and fasteners, gearbox adj, wheel spindles and spacers etc, Eddy Dow type fork damper rods. There are many other bits a pieces to numerous to mention.
It is also fitted with the 190 full width hub front brake.
It has been fitted with the forward footrests and rear brake arm for touring trim, as can be seen in the attached photos.
Viewing/ inspection welcome by prior arrangement only.
