This is a Triumph BSA um it’s a BSA frame the Triumph pre-unit engine uh which I’ve had since 1967 I built it myself but over the years it’s been changed um it’s now running a t140 internals in the engine and the gearbox is a BSA gearbox gold star with a

5-speed in it um the front brake is a Fontana genuine Fontana from the early’ 70s Norton forks and the rear wheel is basically a t140 hub meant to look a bit like a MX and I’ve just put over the last couple of years the disc brake on it um horsepower around about 57

58 um it’s running a four a t1404 plug cylinder head um with two off of the Magneto and two plugs from the electronic on the crankshaft the oil system is a pressurized oil system where I’ve done a conversion inside so the oil goes through the filter first and then

To the crankshaft and it’s also uh running GP carburetors um as you know it’ll be from the early 60s from AML and um an early 60s oil cooler on the o oil system this is a purpose-built oil filter with a t140 element inside I’m also running a bob Newby belt drive

Clutch on it as well um which it makes it a lot smoother than the chain one the clutch is um hydraulic um using the Suzuki uh clutch and Reservoir the adlam is um called a CBI concave which in its day in the 60s was so I can’t remember

But there was so many thousand candle power um but they are lovely Looking Glass as you can See N
