Re: [ST] rocket 3



Hi there STers
Ken M.  Not quite right.  I own both models-a 1971 Triumph T150, and a T160.
BOTH models have the Triumph styling on the timing side cases.  The primary
sides are the same.  The BSA Rocket 3, has the BSA A65 styling on the timing
side, and then there is the Triumph Hurricane, with the BSA motor.  The head
and barrels are different on the Hurricane, more fining, and the barrel is
black.  Both the Triumph and BSA have the same internals.  The T160 having
updated rocker boxes, and electric starting.
