Mine is a reproduction sourced from Mike's Classics in Queensland.

I just had a look. The badges I found do not have the words 'Golden Flash'.

Probably a65 not a10 badges then?

Thanks BT, sorry for the delay in reply but have been away enjoying the sun we are having here at the moment. I have looked at Mike's site and 90-6797 number plate does not show up as available on there. Would it be possible for a clearer picture and some measurements especially of the bit at the top that goes to the mudguard. Thanks and cheers.

Well lesson learnt, don't just check the site for the part but also ask to see if they have one. I contacted Mike of Mike's Classics in Queensland over the weekend to check on whether they had or were going to get any more Superflash rear number plates and Mike replied he had a NOS one so its on its way.

He also had a set of the rear head steady's that the Superflash used, part numbers 67-974 and 67-975, so they are also coming. These were used on the American models only according to the parts supplement for the SF but I have only seen pictures of one bike with them fitted which I believe is owned by Terry Parker. Maybe they just got in the way of the carb?

The correct NOS number plate and head steady's for my Superflash arrived this morning and I am very pleased with them. Thank you Mike. What was most frustrating is that it took longer for them to clear customs and be delivered here in the UK (10 days) than it took to get from Queensland, Australia to the UK (6 days).
