BSA Dust cover, rear damper
A dust cover for the rear damper, shielding the shaft from dirt and moisture at the swinging arm.
This is a dust cover for the rear damper, sitting down at the swinging arm end of the suspension. Its job is straightforward: keep grit, road grime, and moisture off the damper rod and shaft so the unit doesn't wear out early or start leaking. It's a small part, but a torn or missing one lets in the abrasive stuff that eats seals and chrome shaft surfaces.

Our catalog record ties this into the swinging arm figure, appearing across entries from 1969 to 1970. We don't have anything more specific tying this to a particular model beyond that, so if you're matching up rear suspension parts, check the fit against what's actually on your bike before you order.
If your existing dust cover is cracked, perished, or just gone, it's worth putting a fresh one on when you're already in there servicing the rear dampers.
We've never carried this one. Tell us what you're after and we'll go looking — you'll get a price and photos before you commit to anything.
