YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS??????????????????? I found a road test in a 60's magazine stating the Ignition switch on the right. I thought, perhaps that error got copied in later reprints & books. I checked a few lightweight AJS & Matchless, from various years, Instruction books. Look at this

Now all my bikes had the ignition switch on the left, not just AJS & Matchless, I am sure, late BSA Bantam and other marques. All wiring diagrams show its left. :headbang: Maybe you have to lay on your back to read the wiring diagrams :rofl:
