1. Yamaha YHA 205s look good and work well. They are period pieces and
were used to replace the CEV switches. Any Japanese bike junkyard should
have them. They were available new 10 years ago.
2. Moto Guzzi Classics and MG Cycles should have the brackets, if
someone on the list doesn't have spares. Aside, Lucas lights were
specified by Guzzi but I believe after the Ambo run. Both LAPD Ambos I
have had had Stanley for the turn signals, it may have been whether the
particular dealer carried British or Japanese bikes. I have since
replaced them with Dietz, more appropriate for the LAPD.
3. Wire from the diagram in Chiltons, Haynes, or the original manual
from Premier. Very easy to follow. I can supply a copy if you need it.
If you wish to use relays, the best route and something I plan but have
not done yet, I am sure someone can supply instructions.
Regards,
Ross

Subject: Questions about Turn Signals on an Ambo
I have 2 Ambos, one a ratty driver, the other in pieces, both will need
turn signals. I have a new set of the reproduction Lucas signals for the
driver and 3 of the original Lucas signals (still looking for one
original Lucas signal to complete the set) for the non runner.
My questions are these:
1.What kind of turn signal switches are available that look good and
work on the Ambo, and are reasonable?
2.Are the front and rear brackets to mount the turn signals to the bike
available? Anyone have any for sale? Anyone have a dimensional drawing
of the brackets?
3.What is the best and simplest way to wire the signals to the bike?
Thanks,
