classic motorcycle forum

The Ariel Arrow was a stripped down version of the preceding Ariel Leader which did have flashers. Whether as standard or deluxe accessory slips my memory. It was the early days of British bikes even having flashers. It doesn’t surprise me at all that you have a flasher unit tucked away in your Arrow. They were an item offered by Ariel.
Plus who knows what some owner has dreamt up in the fifty odd years the bike has been around.

If the bike is not fitted with flashers, then either
1. It has been in the past, and they are now gone.
2. A previous owner (PO) intended to fit them.
3. There is no possible other logical explanation !

Are we sure its a flasher unit
Were there any wires attached.

Thought maybe it had sold out to the Chinese, avoid some fees and tariffs
Many fees and tariffs  ....

...And normal service will now be resumed.
I was thinking the forum had died a death.

Hi RB
On some J.A.P ohv's the rockers are held in place by cast on "pip's" on the outer cover.  In your photos I can see the protrusions on the rockers that would sit against the cover pips.
It looks wrong when you take the cover off and the rockers can push /pull , but is fine when the outer cover is fitted
