Thanks but they are neither AA or Police spec which are different.

The main thing I need to know is how the front lighting system is set up on the AA bike as a customer has asked if I can replicate it on a recovery bike but I need to see it first.

Go here:

Then go do to motorcycle in the side menu, and then select flashing lights.

What are you trying to do? Kit up a bike for breakdown use?

Basically the same as the above, but with amber beacons. I was going through the local recovery operators that use them use roadside use, but none have got any good photos on their websites.

Two pics of yellow Pan, believe ex-AA, but now private.

Believe to be ST1100-P specification (-P = police). Extra/different switchgear on bars, light bars fitted to mirrors (note the holes inthe mirror wind deflectors where they were) and extra fog lights. Also communications system in left hand fairing pocket, with associated switched on left fairing. Oh, and the top box may be fitted the wrong way round on these (but it's meant to be like that).

Here's the best pic I could find...

For the front (mirror) bars for lights you'll be needing these (see part numbers or eBay may be cheaper)...

and this may help...

Map and Minky you're both stars.

Basically a business associatte asked if I could build a recovery bike for their hire company on the cheap and I agreed to do a quote.

I don't expect it to go anywhere as with buying the bike and equipment they are looking at £4000+ easily and thats with an old high mileage Pan. If they want something with less than 50k on the clocks £5000+

I know of two sources of kit:
Arrow this is one link
Arrow this is the other - click on 'current stock'.

You're in the right ballpark with the prices although on the 2nd link the prices could mean going a BMW route? (FWIW the 1st link has BMW R850s for £3,500 click here).

I have seen the odd ST1100 recovery/maintenance bike come up on eBay but they're rare. Last thing that came close was actually a Deauville. Done a quick search and there is this Deauville! - click for eBay link. From what you say it sounds like a pipe dream with those cost levels.

Best of luck Thumbs Up

Already had a chat with Witham-SV over bikes. I think its a pipedream as well. They would be better off with a Van at the same price.

To be honest, you're always going to be very restricted in what you can do if you're using a bike. It's just down to space and weight.

I know the firms round here carry a basic toolkit, a battery boost pack, and a few odds and sods.

If they're going to be using it for roadside work, I'd be more inclined to go for the van option.

And on the other side, you can always tow a car from a dangerous location, such as a bend. With a bike, you're never going to have that option.

They'd have to be very particular in what they sent it out to.

Generally I've found with the AA they send a bike out to do a quick recce, fix if possible (don't carry much in the way of spares) but usually decide what backup to call (normal van, recovery truck, etc.).

The bike gets to you quicker so they can claim to have met their commitment to respond within xx minutes (whatever their publicity says at the time). That's not counting of course the 3, 4, 5 hour wait you have for their next vehicle to turn up Rolling Eyes

A bike hire company.

The idea was to be able to do puncture repairs and jump starts in central london. Also would provide advertising.
