1968 Tank Design/Striping

Yes Piero, the same centres for Norton and Matchless badges. They were interchangeable which proved the case when Matchless G15CS's were shipped to the States the distributors just changed the badges over as the Americans preferred Norton to Matchless.

P11As too!

Of the 1300 or so P11As shipped, several hundred were badged as Matchless. I don't know how many remained Matchless.

I've also seen a couple of N15s with G15CS/12xxxx stamped on the engine. Again, the dealer had the choice as to which badge he would put on the bike to sell it - =M= or N.

One member of the AJSMOC has even badged his P11A with AJS badges - same screw centers

I couldn't find the pic in my files, but it was this color:

Hi.
AMC had been making this tank for a while, and was built in several variations - with or without the 'bump' at the badge location, .

Hi Bill,

I have never seen on a P11.

Yes, P11As typically had the bump for the badge, aluminum quick-release fuel cap with the two locking pins inside the neck for the cap.
