The T160's still came out of Small Heath, apparently when they did the design work for the T160 at the NVT norton works the T160 was nicknamed the Rodent (rocket 3/trident).
But this is still a BSA works built engine. So BSA Rocket Goldstar Three...

A bit more work has gone into that bike than first appears. Look carefully and you can see it has a seperate gearbox, possibly a Norton one ? That means the whole gearbox/clutch casting has been removed, it would be interesting to see a picture of the other side of the bike.

Does the front brake cable actually go under the mudguard?

I wouldn't ride it like that.

certainly would, the front wheel hub has a large flange on the other side, what hub is that?
Agree TT about the brake cable just wonder if there's another brake on the reverse side, maybe the cables is two

 Chopping the gearbox off is just wrong and where's the oil cooler

Someone loves it, I guess that's all that matters *wink2*

but if you were going to chop about a triple engine this is more like it.

Or to see some very clever non BSA related engineering take a look at https://www.facebook.com/v8indian/photos_stream
This bike lives not far from me and the builder is a very very clever guy. I've had the pleasure to see it running and it is pretty special
