 hello,

  There is a guy selling a 56 a-10 set up for jockey shift- he says its all original from the factory. I have never seen this before on a bike this late. Before I travel 250 miles to check this out, did BSA make a foot-clutch, hand shift bike as late as 56-58?

 I am just thinking that if the bike was modified this much from stock, I might as well save the petrol and not bother. But I do like the look of jockey-shift, even if it was a bad idea.

 Thanks,
Lee

Hello I have never heard of it on pre unit A10s.  It might have been a dealer installed option.  Or...  it could have been a DPO installed option.  On the bright side... parts are plenty-full and probably not be a hard conversion.  Good Luck,  Jeff

G'day, i'm probably wrong, but didn't old police bikes(in Aussie) have jockey shift? also, some bikes with sidecars? Have'nt any photos but i have seen owners add jockey levers. I always thought that was kinda cool, but gee it must take some getting use too. also dangerous!
cheers, Guy.

If you put one on your bike it will look just like this.
