1975 CB750 P2 Police Bike
Oddjob:
Just sell it James, let someone else have the problem. ;D ;D
sye:
It isn't really a problem though. It would be easy enough to get waterproof covers for use on the road so they can't be seen.
Moorey:
Personally I would ride it as it is and take my chances. It would take some special type of twat to give you a ticket, but they are out
there.
royhall:
There are no shortages of special type of t**t around my way. They will book you for anything.

Evening all.
Progress on the Police bike has been sporadic and slow, whilst I’m waiting for a few bits to come together..you guessed it, the bloody paintwork. Why is it ALWAYS the sodding paintwork that holds up these projects .
Anyway, have got the front end finished now, and carbs fitted and we have a running bike. She settles down into a nice smooth, quiet tickover - so I’m bloody chuffed.
The headlight ‘nacelle’ was a bit of a challenge to get a headlight rim to fit smoothly, but managed to get there in the end.
I’ve also wired up the patrol lights to a flasher unit I found in the US - yes, they’ll be disconnected for road use but if I ever show the bike it’s a nice little ‘show trick’.
I’ve also been at the 3D design/printing to mock-up the missing bracket that guides the siren cables to the rear drive bracket/roller. It’s amazing what you can conjure up from a couple of photos from the internet . Had to redesign the first effort and ‘thicken’ it slightly; second time lucky.
Have been in touch with Venhill who have agreed to manufacture a clutch cable in grey to my specification - the one I bought from CMSNL two years ago was about 16†too short..def a spec savers job there lol..
So will be a quiet couple of weeks whilst I wait for the paintwork to get sorted, then I can button this one up and go out for a spin / get arrested by the local plod for ‘flashing’ :-).
