Nice attention to detail James. These are the time consuming fiddly bit's that nobody ever sees, but make all the difference to the finished bike.

Presume you don't need it. If not it's on there.

Thanks Ken. If it’s the switch that mounts to the headlight bucket/nacelle I’ve got a NOS one thanks. Have a link?

No it's like the handlebar switch the 500 uses for switching the lights on but I don't think it's one of those as the wire colours are wrong IIRC

Not sure if it's for your model police bike or some other model. Thought of you straight away.

Thanks Ken. The patrol light switching is dealt with on the handlebar switch on the P2 model I think. I’ve not really studied the wiring in huge detail yet.
I think the switch you linked to is for a 550/750K (78) police model.

Well, I been thinking about this day for 3-4 years now, and finally have the engine back in the frame. She literally slotted into place perfectly - the easiest ‘re-insertion’ of a 750 engine I’ve ever had.
Luckily I had a new points cover in my stock pile - just checked the DSS price and (drum roll) - £360. Yes, £360. 3. 6. 0. British pounds. What the f*** is going on there..?
It turns out the NOS foot pegs came out of the sale of John Wyatt’s estate, via a nice chap who is helping Johns widow sell off his bike related stuff and doing so in a really fair, ethical and transparent way which is a nice touch. Thanks John for keeping hold of these over the years
Anyway, have made the progress I wanted this week - having a week off next week - so next update will be the following week.
Obligatory progress photos below…
