Yes, the gear change is on the oposite side to modern Jap bikes. It also operates upside down - 1 up and 3 down.
The bike runs very well, sounds superb when the single cylinder is pushing you along.
They made a few thousand as it was the second most common WD bike during WW2 after the BSA M20.
I understand that the G3L was sought after as it was a much more advanced bike than the girder forked models available at the time.

The last post was a while ago, but i am looking for a set of these grips.
I have tried Cornucopia and Stuart Bray and they dont stock them at the moment.
Is there any one else who will sell them?

My tyres have the arrow and the WD but no date is obvious. Not sure if I will keep them or get some new ones. I imagine they are going to be 60/70s I am sure the WD was replaced after that.
Some one out there must be able to confirm - thanks for thr replies

Thanks for the reply, but what about the W and D, either side of the arrow?
That is not used today is it?

My Matchless bike has the WD crows foot on the tyres.
How long was this symbol used?
I know it was used during the war, but how long after?
