So

JamesH:
Managed to get a few more hours on the police bike today, and she’s really starting to come together.

Siren test fitted and patrol lights fitted and wired. I’ve decided to run a red/blue patrol light setup for now (as opposed to the double red US setup). Not sure if this will stay this way, but is fine for now.

Master cylinder refurbished and fitted. Both controls have been refurbished - can’t fit the Lh switch until the clutch perch and siren lever perch come back from straightening and polishing.

Hit a snag with the tank paintwork - so that will be a couple of weeks away at least. What is it always the paintwork lol..

Anyway - progress photos below:

I can't see Mr Plod being happy with the blue light, for some reason they seem to think they own that colour on vehicles.

I think you’re probably right Ken - I’ll ask a mate of mine for some advise (he’s a serving road traffic cop). Sadly I probably know the answer…

Oddjob:
Just remembered James that back in the seventies I made a model of that exact same police bike, it was made by Tandy or something like that. It was on display in my mums display cabinet for many years, only the sight of the lights made me remember it. I wonder if it’s still available?
