hi there all,
I have a 741b which was used by the KAR, on Kenya, I also have a spare engine for one,
these bikes never had the switches under the seat,
my fathers cousin brought approx 9 741b's, from auction in mid 50's Kenya,
while my father and his brother brought 12 wla,,
the Indians had been used as colonial service bikes after the war, ie police, postal and then sold,
I was told by a older service man that Indians were still in use in 1952, when the queen was on safari, (before she was queen),
and would been part off the royal motorcade,
my indian was painted turquoise, like meny raf or navel bikes,
its since has been painted and chromed,
id love to find more history on these north Africa campain indians
meny thanks
