BSA Oiler — rear chain
A rear chain oiler (PN 68-0383) that feeds engine oil to the primary side oiling system for chain lubrication.
This is a rear chain oiler, listed in the catalog under part number 68-0383 (also shown as 68-383 in some records). It shows up in the crankcase and primary chaincase figures, which tells us it's tied into the oil feed system on the primary side of the engine rather than being a separate accessory bolted on somewhere else.

A rear chain oiler like this is meant to bleed a small, controlled amount of engine oil out to lubricate the final drive chain, saving you from having to oil the chain by hand as often. Given where it turns up in the parts books — crankcase, clutch, and primary cover figures — it's part of the oil routing on that side of the motor rather than a bolt-on drip feed at the rear of the bike.
The catalog entries for this one run from 1969 to 1972, but we don't have a specific model tied to it in our records beyond that. If you're matching this up to your bike, give us a call and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
