Hi, Thank you that would be much appreciated. rcy700@hotmail.com

Thanks for your reply That makes sense, the wires were routed into the handlebars but not connected to anything! I'll perhaps re-install one day. My bike is also slow & running very rich but the solex carb doesn't have a needle for height adjustment so I will have to do some research to find out how to weaken the mixture.

Really appreciate your reply, so it was a military police bike! Regards Rob

Hello Everyone, I would appreciate input regarding how to determine if my bike was used by the military police . I have the vehicle data card which shows its movements: Pro Unit RMP BAOR on 21/7/67 then to 17 RVD BOAR on 21/11/68. It then went to ORD depot Belgium BOAR on 16/3/70 Then to 1 (BR) corps VEH coy BOAR on 10/3/75. It appears to have been taken out of service on 31/7/75 described by transaction S/O VVA (whatever that stands for) None of this seems to suggest it was used as a M.P. bike, it does however have M.P. in red on a white background on the tip of the front mudguard. I don't believe the bike has been restored & is in very original order. The only other thing that makes me think it was used by the M.P. , is the fitment of a handlebar switch going through a relay in the headlamp but not connected to the lights? Sorry for all the detail but I'm hoping it assists. Regards Rob
