Great video, I have a 1940 BSA wm20 which is marked as the 57 aka the 56 indep. infantry brigade as I help command the Essex regiment reenactment team, I just wondered what made you select the numbers or was it already like this?
The Front Fender Fin is used to slice enemy solders when they are in the way!
But seriously, it was used for the displaying the license number when it was a civilian and sometimes the "Contract" number from the British government if it was used for the war.
Thanks everyone for the comments! Yea, the helmut is authentic and really doesn't protect you from anything....no wonder they don't make 'em like that anymore!....it says 1944 on the inside and is the original color.
I have since started restoring a 1942 Harley Davidson WLA Military Project. Some day I'll have a video of it too!

The authentic British army motorcycle helmet of the time was made out of hardened leather and line with cork.
