Commando frames.

Various brackets and holes plus the headstock angle changed by 1 degree so 850 frame needs 850 yokes so you get the right trail back. Center stand may be differently mounted as well.

As mentioned above Headstock angle is different, this has quite an effect on handling; even gets a mention in tech talk on norvil website under 'my bike weaves'. So steer clear of 71/72 frames if possible. later frames are easily identified by larger/extended brackets where rear shocks fit.

For those who have a 71/72 bike and think it is fine, I would ask have you ridden a pre 71 or 73 onwards one - they are noticably different when you get motoring.

Also the rear frame loop is slightly narrower. You can't fit a fastback tail fairing to the later frames.

I'm pretty sure it is the italian frames only that are wider an won't accept the normal fastback tail. I own 2 75 frames that will and 2 that won't accept the FB tail. I also have a 73 750 frame that is a wide loop. Most early frames are narrow loop.

Since my research... a long time ago, I made a altered FB mold that works on the wide loop frames.
