Forks and yoke

Why not buy the missing bits from the likes of Andover Norton and build your own set of forks? This will probablycost youaround £900 but they will be new and add value to your bike. Second hand Commando forks are fetching £300 plusand quite often, when purchased, most partsturn out to betoo worn to be safely used. Why take a chance?

Hi, I have to agree, as it makes the bike original, and easy to find spares. Owens Motorcycles in Wrexham currently list some complete Disc forks for £350. Hope that helps, Paul

I would stick with the Yamaha forks and enjoy some front suspension that works properly. Standard Commando forks are pretty poor if you want to ride round any corners and not feel like you are on a pogo stick. But then if you just want to look at it.......

I may have a set of yokes. I will take a look at the weekend

. If I do, I would happily sell them to you - it would be a start! I'll also look and see if I have any other front end parts which might be of interest.

Firstly hello, i have just bought my first Norton, i am just enquiring to see if anyone has any idea of a period front end which will fit the mk11 commando? it currently has yamaha TRX 850 forks and yokes fitted and they are making me ill looking at them. Cant seem to find any forks for sale at the moment and am just looking for anything till i come across a standard set up. Thanks
