That looks like the light on my 63 650 CSR but I think its Lucas, would the lightweight not be Wipac? Not sure if the light on my CSR is original. I am sure my lightweight light is original. I have that same light as my picture on my 66 G2 CSR also on my 58 G2.Ozmadman wrote:This is mine, the lens is original but the original holder had separate stop and tail bulbs. The original lens fits a later holder with one stop/tail bulb, you would never know unless you remove the lens! When I next uncover the bike I will get the number off the lens for you.
Same as mine Janet and it looks the same as in the sales brochure show here as wellJanet wrote:My G2CSR isn't a late one as it's a '64 version with the beautiful big chromed* mudguards, but this is a photo of its tail light. It's a Wipac and only has a single stop and tail lamp in it. Whether or not it is original I can't know because I haven't had it from new but it's odds-on that it is. Whether or not it's the same as late lights, I don't know that either.

I do believe my 64 AJS 14 CSR also has that rear lamp. Unfortunately sales cat. pictures are not 100% correct, old artwork was used. I have seen books containing all original artwork. You can clearly see the paintings have been changed to suit a year after the year they were drawn for. They only seemed to alter major parts that changed. So a smaller part like a rear lamp may have remained un altered on the drawing. There could have also been times when suppliers could not meet demands for a part, so a substitute was used. This certainly happened with levers, sometimes being Amal or Bowden etc.Ozmadman wrote:Same as mine Janet and it looks the same as in the sales brochure show here as wellJanet wrote:My G2CSR isn't a late one as it's a '64 version with the beautiful big chromed* mudguards, but this is a photo of its tail light.
