gt 550 patroller

Post by chrisblazely »

Hi all this is my first post..I have just bought a all most complete 1974 gt 550 patroller it is sadly in need of a restoration but the basic bike is complete. Mostly i need the police things panniers, document box , crash bars, rear indicators bracket. blue and red lights, siren . that will just about complete the rebuild. I have found it very difficult to find pictures of one so if anybody has some that would be great.. Look forward to hearing from you. I am in Tasmania where the riding is excellent.

Pictures are off the menu currently it seems. Dunno why, but probably cost to the forum owner.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Thanks very much for the photos Slosher , those pictures were the only ones I could find on the net before I asked for help from you guys , they are really good photos but dont show enough detail of the switches or the mounting brackets for the police fit out. I will keep looking and hope for the best. Kind regards Chris
