Can't find any trace of it, I did my own back in the 80's on a 1970 harness I fitted to a 1969 B44 with the same wires in the harness but have not kept any details.

WIPAC is gone, replica Tricon and Ducon are not. I normally stock both but only have Tricon right now. Triconsol is gone but can be simulated.No. The '68-'70 Triconsul switch (no longer available) had Hi/Lo beam, horn and headlamp flash. There was no right-hand switch cluster.
Hi everybody!
I purchased an original Wipac Triconsul switch for my 70 Commando and have a few questions about it:
The bike was fitted with the later style Lucas control units . I want to restore it to get the original look on the handlebars.
The high beam flasher knob is brown on my switch, normaly it should be a green knob?
Hope it is a Triconsul and not a Tricon with kill switch ! I have no comparison.
The seller said an internal screw is missing but there was never a screw fitted on that empty hole. I can see no marks.
Wiring: a cable bridge should be...
The green-only wire would be the original flasher stem wire. The original flashers grounded through the stem.
If your flashers have two wires then one connects to green/white or green/red and the other is an earth/ground and there's no harness connection for that so you need to connect it to ground (red).
The horn is also wired differently on the later models. The '68-'70 Triconsul has a push-to-ground horn switch, the later Lucas switch does not.
Notice that it shows for 68-69 Commandos. The Lucas number listed for 70-74 Commandos is 54960723
Agreed, except that Lucas (current) does not agree. They have 68-69 like the drawing shows, and they have 70-74 (main and separate headlight). So, if he has 12volt coils, ammeter, and no turn signals, then the harness he bought is the closest available. If he wants to keep the ammeter then the 70-74 harness will not work so he will need to use then 68-69 version and add the wires I've told him about.
Not the point - read entire post quit nitpicking! The point is that there were various cutoffs/changes as best I've been able to determine in "70" to include the cutover from one harness to the other. When that actually happened and to which model(s) at which times, I have no idea. Apparently neither does AN or modern Lucas.
It is a 1970 roadster. But from what I can tell it’s virtually identical to the s except for the exhaust. Same side covers and oil reservoir, headlight halo and amp meter. I think il stick with this harness and wire turn signals as you noted. I don’t want to give up amp meter cool looking feature. Then I’ll figure out some way to do a kill switch. Having done a bit of reading I th8nk I’ll invest in a modern turn signal flasher then won’t worry about bulb wagage. I will have few spare wires as I’m going with electronic ignition and modern rectifier. Then I’ll figure out the horn wiring.
Are you saying my harness won work with 6 volt coils?
I don't quite see the need for a second thread on the subject, however, I will continue in the other thread.
Sorry my inexperience in forums
See post #7 this thread. If you want the same for the other side show them or say what colors are there.
