Yes you probably true. I think BSA was taken over by Triumph in 71 to 72 some time.

Joe.

 

Hi Dennis no the bike was rough and if you do a search on the bike they were all gold and black and the paint layout were all the same, so I own a 2011 Triumph America the one in my logo or whatever it’s called and like the paint job much more than the Bonny original.
So I gave the tank my own paint job everyone who has seen it likes it so job done well so far.

 

You should have put the rebuilding / spraying on builds and projects Daniel.

The mudguard is on back to front and the bracket on the fork is upside down

 

Enjoy your trip.

 

Good spot!

 

Not sure about the bracket. But shouldn't the stays be on the top of the guard rather than below. Were on my BSA Firebird. Also if you look at the first picture it shows the bike with the traditional mudguard as fitted to Triumph.
Ride Safe
Joe.
