[QUOTE="highbury731, post: 171632, member: 1557"] My 1960 Super Rocket, sold new in New Zealand, had stampings on the crank case indicating that it was fitted with 9:1 pistons. It also had the tacho drive from the oil pump introduced that year. I got it in 1986 with an iron head, 30mm Concentric, a Gold Star 4 gallon petrol tank, seat with white piping round the edge, flat-sided single oil tank and tool box, and a magnetic speedo. The frame and various parts were painted metallic gold. I called it my Rocket Gold Flash. After melting some spark plugs, I gave it a Super Rocket head and a pair of built Chronometric clocks, the rear Konis off my GS450 Suzuki, and later an RGS exhaust and late '60s 2ls wheel. It became a rather nice roadburner, tho' vibratory. [/QUOTE]
