BSA A7

BSA A7 1959 500cc. Older restoration and stored in private collection since. Zero miles. Still in very good condition – not concourse but would not take a great deal to get it close.

Built to reassemble the bike the American market wanted BSA to produce with full width alloy hubs & cable rear brake ( which they eventually did as the Export only Super Rocket and ending as the Rocket Gold Star ) so many replica RGS parts have been utilised.

Mostly all the wearing parts were replaced with new parts. examples being Bearings. sprockets. chains & chain guard. rear suspension units. front wheel spindle etc. the list is long.

The front fork stanchions are chromed so Clip-ons to change to clubman
specification is a very easy option.

We put oils in and it started immediately. A new battery is fitted and all the electrics work perfectly.

The bike has been reunited with its original registration number and the majority of the paperwork to achieve this comes with it. although some was lost by the DVLA! It is also Pre-Sorn but will have to be either Taxed (Historic – no charge ) or be put on Sorn once it acquires a new owner.

It also comes with a set of correct transfers from VMCC to complete the job together with a photographic record of the restoration.

The bad points-

Needs new front mudguard ( or a re-chrome ) as it has a chip out of it and is pitted.

Rear wheel rim chrome is only average but as above an easy job these days.

Whole bike is “stiff” through lack of use – but this should not be a major issue once it gets used again.

Whilst the tyres were new when fitted and still have the stickers on are therefore now. old.

This good looking machine has always been a talking point with visitors and creates plenty of interest with people more accustomed to seeing road going motorcycles rather than our race bikes.

The reason for selling is to create space to concentrate on. and help to fund. our classic road racing activities.

We would prefer cash on collection –or cleared funds in advance. We are able to deliver with our van at cost. any reasonable distance from East Lancashire. We are also able to arrange crating & export shipping with a local specialist company.

Note - the bike can be taken to the Stafford show this weekend if you are interested.
