MatchFuzee Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 If repro ones are O.K. are the correct pannier parts here? https://www.draganfly.co.uk/index.php/a65anda50/category/842-wd-panniers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had two back in the early 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if yes, not all parts are in stock or available. https://www.draganfly.co.uk/index.php/bsa/bsa/b40/category/1208-1208- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Ron Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Australia received a small amount of B40 GA 1967 models with special gear ratios and high level exhaust with a leather saddle bag frame on the LHS. The leather saddle bag is the same as used by Australian and most likely US WLA WW2 Harley Davidsons with a quick release pin set up between the saddle bag and its frame. Modak motor cycles of 299 Elisabeth St Melbourne Vic Australia should have NOS items and a lot of other NOS parts purchased from the ex Australian army auctions many years ago. http://modakmotorcycles.com.au/ Ron Edited May 20, 2016 by 101 Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Hi Ron, The British Forces WDB40 motorcycles had a low level exhaust and a pannier frame each side, the bags were of have canvas material unlike the Australian contract. I am sure the gear ratios in the British army models was same as yours, I had two and worked on some for the army. The gear clusters were sought after for competition trials because of the ratios. regards, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
