Just to introduce myself

I have just acquired a BSA Shooting Star

Current mileage since restoration 250 miles
I know very little about BSAs so will be asking many silly questions

I had a number of BSAs when I was a nipper C11, C12, and A10s

I started biking again 25 years ago and quickly got into outfits an had great fun touring  and camping with my wife and eldest grand son.
The outfits included a Z1300, ST1100, a number of Guzzies and a Vincent Comet with a Jet80(first watsonion glass fiber sidecar with a super silk chassis)

I still have the Comet but wanted a solo to replace my competent but boring scooter.

I wanted an A7 as I remember that they were smoother than the A10

I have changed the center stand to one with an extention(the bike seems much heavier than recall)
fitted a rack(suppied with bike) and Topbox and have fitted a new rectifier and carburetter drip tray.

The center stand I purcased needed about four days to modify to fit.
The carburetter drip tray needed fetterling to allow the magneto cable to flow.

I have meet up with the local BSA club who are very friendly and have given me usful advice and help.


Regards

Vic Phillips

Rectifier ,did you mean regulator or is yours alternator equipped ? if so a bit unusual . Any way enjoy your bike, smiles are guaranteed and come FOC best wishes BobH.
