Anybody have one of these either complete or as a parts doner? In particular the I need a switch lever, see last picture.

Cheers
Adrian

Mate, just bear with me a little while. Many years ago I put one of these (or what looked VERY similar to this) onto my Super Rocket that I was adding indicators to.
I'll check it out and take a pic or two. I can always find a substitute for the Beezer, but if it helps you get yours original I'm up for it.

Lets see if these pics work:

So, on it there's an L-R indicator switch, a hi/low dip switch, and a horn button.
(Sorry about pic quality... it's dark out there in the shed!)
I'm pretty sure this switch came off a Suzi TS 125 that I had many years ago (but I couldn't guarantee it).
As you can see it's all polished nicely, it all works.
I'd just need a substitute in exchange... revenue neutral.

joolstacho Yep - your bang on, that's the same switch, that came on my '70 T500.

Very reasonable offer. Do you have a source in mind for the replacement?

Adrian, maybe we should both look for a substitute that I can put on the BSA. I've seen 'universal' switches on ebay that might do the job.
Only catch to be aware of is that I'm in OZ and postage cost could be an issue.
(Actually the REAL postage cost is pretty cheap from UK, but postage can be really expensive from USA)

OK - I'll take a look at what's availiable here tonight and propose some options. I am a few month away from finishing the bike so I can live with a slow & economic postage for your switch if international costs are a problem. Buts let see if we can find you something acceptable first for you.

That's a plan mate.
BTW I don't really need the indicator function.

Still looking.... but only things worthy of offering up so far would be a lucas copy that integrates the lever perch. Not sure of the switch functions seems to be horn / dip / spare push button (passing light maybe?)

No stock of this type....
