BSA GOLDSTAR DBD 34 1955

BSA GOLDSTAR DBD34 1955

REGISTERED IN  MAY 1955. THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST BIG FINN GOLDSTARS. IT FEATURES 190mm FULL WIDTH FRONT BRAKE. 1 1/2 GP1 CARB WITH REMOTE CYLINDER FLOAT. STEEL PETROL TANK. GEARBOX SAYS RRT2 BUT I THINK IT HAS STANDARD GEARS.

THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN REBUILT USING NEW CHROME RIMS. SPOKES AND NEW TRYES FITTED. THE MAG HAS BEEN RECONDITIONED.

IT HAS A GOOD SEAT. THE PETROL TANK HAS GOOD CHROME. BUT ONE OR TWO LITTLE DENTS.

THE BIKE IS FITTED WITH A 120MPH CHRONO SPEEDO AND THE CORRECT BLACK FACE REV COUNTER AND A BRASS 1 TO 1 RIGHT ANGLE DRIVE.

THE ENGINE IS VERY CLEAN. HAS LOTS OF COMPRESSION AND A GOOD SPARK. BUT I HAVE NOT HAD IT RUNNING. IT HAS NO DAMAGED FINS ON THE HEAD OR BARREL AND THE CRANK CASES ARE ALSO VERY GOOD.

THE PRIMARY CHAIN CASES ARE POLISHED AND LOOK NICE. AGAIN NO DENTS OR SCRATCHES. A LUCAS ALTETTE HORN IS FITTED. THE EXHAUST AND SILENCER ARE QUITE NEW AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

THE BIKE IS FITTED WITH ALLOY MATADOR RACING LEVERS WHICH ARE NOT ORIGINAL.

THE MUDGUARDS HAVE POOR CHROME SO TOO DO THE STAYS. REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS AND THE CHAIN GUARD.

THE PAINTWORK ISNT VERY GOOD IN PLACES EITHER.

THE BIKE HAS A SIDE AND CENTRE STAND BUT THE SIDE STAND IS FASTENED AS IT HAS NO SPRING.

THE BRACE IS MISSING THAT GOES UNDER THE REAR MUDGUARD (ANY PARTS NEEDED ARE AVAIALBLE FROM AUTO CYCLE ENGINEERING)

OVERALL I WOULD SAY THE BIKE IS IN FAIR TO REASONABLE CONDITION

A RENOVATION PROJECT OR RIDE AND RESTORE.

IT WAS LAST ON THE ROAD IN 1978 AND HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR 36YRS.

THE BIKE COMES WITH A VERY OLD V5 AND ORIGINAL REGISTRATION NUMBER AND SHOWS THE DATE OF REGISTRATION TO BE  14TH MAY 1955. HOWEVER THE BIKE HAS A LATER ENGINE FROM AROUND 1957.

I KNOW THE BIKE HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE UK AND IS NOT AN MPORT. HOWEVER I AM CURRENTLY RESEARCHING WHERE THE BIKE WENT TO I. E WHICH DEALER. WHEN IT WAS NEW. I WILL KNOW THIS BY THE WEEKEND AND WILL POST.

SO A 500 DBD34 FOR RENOVATION.

GENUINE BIDS ONLY PLEASE AND NO ZEO FEEDBACKS

ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK.
