Hey!

Any chance you have the wiring diagram for the police additions on this bike? I have a 76 and I'm trying to determine all the add-ons.

Update for anyone who sees my post above - but JamesH on the UK forum posted an image of a wiring diagram for the '75 750P. If anyone here has a high res image or PDF that would be awesome otherwise at least I have something!

Cheers guys - smashing a pint of IPA and having a play with the design of the siren bracket in CAD to see if I can use a 3D printed part and still tighten the rear upper engine bolt without crushing the 3D printed plastic material (PLA).

Current thinking is to recess an M10 washer within a recessed pocket and use an M10x25 washer under the nut to transmit the load. I’m sure there’s a better way but the beer is flowing ha ha..







Absolutely stunning work, James! :D
A thought about the plastic bracket: could you use a thin nut to hold the engine's bolt, then the plastic bracket, topped off with another thin nut?
This used to be how we fitted some of the front case-crash protection bars, back in the day...

Hi, I may have come across a police bike. Is it supposed to have a "p" in the VIN or how do you know for sure?

None of the 69 to 76 ‘k’ police bikes that I’ve worked on had a P in the vin. Just standard Honda VIN sequence with the extra police brackets

What do you mean with "extra police brackets"?

Go back through this thread and study the frame pics - you’ll see the extra ‘police’ brackets that were added to the standard frame by Honda to fit the various guards and rear carrier. All will be revealed.

Share pics with us of what you’re buying so we can advise.

I guess you mean extra frame brackets? The bike i refer to is not complete, its a 750 with correct tank, speedo, seat, rear crashbar and tray holder. But further it could be a k6 with police parts added. Any recommendation as on how to know its genuine?

Ok, we crossed messages. No pics because i left it because there was no p in the vin. But i know how to contact the owner. Are any of these brackets welded so they could not be added later?

Ok, look like the tray brackets are good candidates, let me research further
