Hi everyone,

Its a ST1300 PA 2006

what does the switch with   " * 1 2 3 " do ?
what does the switch with   /\ ( arrow pointing up ) do?   ..... im guessing it was spot lights?
what does the switch with    "On   Off"  do ??

The workings of the police switch block are the same as the ST1100.  Here is an explanation http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=2031.0 (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=2031.0)

Just looking at the corrosion on the bolt heads in that pic gives a clue to why your start switch was corroded.  The bike has obviously spent a lot of its life exposed to the elements.  (I assume that's what it is, and not white paint over-spray like on the switch block.)

That is a police switch block, and should be connected to a loom the ends under the back seat.

1 :-  Turns on strobes
2:-   Turns on the blue light on the extending pole at the rear
3 :-  Momentary on for siren
^ (or 4) :- Siren on
on Switch (5) ;_ Power on off for siren strobe package (Maybe radio as well)
7&8 Switch (the one that looks like a lighting switch):- Not used in Oz (I use it for spot light enable)

Actually Biggles, the pic is a little miss leading as there is no over spray and really no corrosion either, it was something to do with the flash on the camera and using a HD filter/splitter. it merges two shots together to give a richer color depth than in normal photos, but as you can see, not so good for close ups with a flash.
