Front wheel makes it a 54 model and lack of SR1 and auto advance makes it a 350 (only fitted to 500 that year). So 54 16MS.

Re: Model and year identification please
Spot on Clive, a 54 350. model. The 54 model would have been on sale late 1953, registered year of manufacture 1953.
This still happens today. Some time ago I brought a new Lada car. I thought it strange nuts and fittings had oxidised.
Rubbers had perished to a degree to warrant an M o T failure. On checking the VIN number I discovered the car was made 2 years before I brought it.

The club crash bars look like the Britix design with the chrome dome nuts. I thought these were the best and they stayed tight.

Re: Model and year identification please
They're not really crash bars Rob they are badge bars as in the description. I can't see them surviving a crash at speed but would certainly give some slow speed protection.Rob Harknett wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 3:53 pm The club crash bars look like the Britix design with the chrome dome nuts.

Re: Model and year identification please
Back in the 50's they were commonly called crash bars, which is still used as a description Rob.
Also a safety helmet was a crash helmet. The old name terms seem to stick.
I searched motor cycle crash bars on e bay and got over 2,000 results. Motor cycle badge bars gave just 58 results.
Quite a few of those 58 results were only badges, some called crash bars.
So if our website is searched for badge bars 1 in 35 will find them. Call them crash bars and 34 out 35 people will find them.
