During the sixties in the UK I worked on one side of London, and lived on the other side necessitating a crosstown trip twice a day, on my Super Rocket, which was great fun, every other weekend I rode up the A40 from London to Wales, for Sunday lunch with my Grandmother in Blaenavon, returning the same day, rain or shine. In 1973 I met Wal Phillips, and we started testing his fuel injector on my bike, which I adapted with a vacuum controlled fuel pressure regulator, which cured the traditional problems that Wal suffered with the unit. ( refer to WilliamsPowerInjections.com ) the three day week followed in 1973, and petrol was scarce, so I fitted a Calor Gas 8.5lb. propane tank to the fuel injector, and ran back and forth with the Super Rocket running on gas. I built many A10 based specials during those years, one with an RRT2 gearcluster, which was great for motorways with a 24 tooth engine sprocket , it would easily pull a hundred miles an hour in third ! Your bike is the best that I have seen for years, and if it comes up for sale, let me know at a-williams@outlook.com. Ride safe, and thanks for the upload.

Well done both for the restoration and the video. I had a 1962 preunit A10 Super rocket in 1967 and sold it in near original condition for..£75. Which was the approximate going rate at the time.Beautiful bike, beautiful sound.Fast forward to the last five years and at 68 yo, am back on the bikes. It stays in the blood! Thank You for sharing.

Lovely restoration. My dad had a Gold Flash back in the 1950's but he was continuously working on it as the build quality wasn't brilliant. Your bike looks to be better built than it came out of the factory with all the care you have put into it. If the management at BSA had reinvested and updated design and machine tools etc, they might have survived the Japanese onslaught but that's a well told story now. Thanks for the great video.

Beautiful well done. My family sold Bsa's from 50 to 71, my brother's personal bike was a rocket gold star he had an accident and on the rebuild and replace the frame which took eight months to get back from Bsa . The rocket gold star frames were one off for that model and we're based on the A10 frame, not the gold star frame, there were modifications for rear sets and some different lugs on the down tubes, They're also steering stops that were adjustable mounted on the fork yolks, which you didn't see you on the regular rockets. These are for if you mounted clip Ons handlebars, to keep them from slapping the tank.

The BSA Gold Star duplex frame was in fact the BSA 500 twin duplex frame that the Gold Star Development Engineers used and then fitted it with the McCandless Brother's third party swinging arm unit, in place of the BSA Drawing Office's undamped plunger frame design. They had to modify the starboard side bottom rail to clear the Gold Star engine's oil pump housing with a "kink". They also added hexagonal sockets to the rear foot rest loops to enable fitting of rear set foot rests, for Clubman's racing purposes. The Development Engineer's frame was sent up to the BSA Drawing Office to draw up. The Super Rocket's wheel hubs were a Triumph derived design, whereas the Gold Stars used the 8" front brake but with finning and knock out discs to improve cooling and the finned quick detach single sided brake hub rear wheel design. Optional front hub was the full width 190mm unit. Introduced at the suggestion of Eddie Dow, a BSA Gold Star Isle of Man racer, the 650cc Rocket Gold Star was to use up stocks of BSA Gold Star cycle parts between 1962 and 1963 before the introduction of the somewhat less successful Triumph influenced unit construction models.

My wife has one of these (1959); but it's infinitely better because it's tatty, got faded paint, dirty under the guards. The crank is modified and oil is filtered and it has panniers fitted. And a good mileage on the clock. We're going to fit a "Wader" mag' and modify primary drive sealing so it can cross deeper fords and rivers. Perhaps I should post videos and/or pics of it in use.

That's an interesting question. They are 360 deg twins so should have a smooth even exhaust note. The burdump - burdump - burdump sound is probably due to ignition timing variance between the two cylinders. A bit like the syncopated sound of a steam engine. Lovely!

What is the compression ratio 9.5 or 10 to 1? as a guess judging by the hard kick required to get the kickstart to spin the engine! A few mates "back in the day" fitted 10.5 to 1 pistons and they used to kick like that and on occasion took flying lessons over the handlebars much to everyone's delight!!! As good a BSA as you will see anywhere in the world! Well done.

That's an interesting question. They are 360 deg twins so should have a smooth even exhaust note. The burdump - burdump - burdump sound is probably due to ignition timing variance between the two cylinders. A bit like the syncopated sound of a steam engine. Lovely!
2 into 1, the sound of one hand clapping.
I love it! I'm in the middle of a total resto on my 62 SR. Where did you find your fenders? Great job!!

What a beaut!!
I put many miles on one of these.
Be your best friend forever if you give it to me, promise!
What is the compression ratio 9.5 or 10 to 1? as a guess judging by the hard kick required to get the kickstart to spin the engine! A few mates "back in the day" fitted 10.5 to 1 pistons and they used to kick like that and on occasion took flying lessons over the handlebars much to everyone's delight!!! As good a BSA as you will see anywhere in the world! Well done.

9.5 to 1. Ride it regularly, too much fun to leave in the shed
The engine looks remarkably like a Gold Flash but with a aluminium head?
