750 or 850 frame?

Forums

Hello, I have a Commando frame and would like to ensure that I have the right fork yokes to go with it unfortunately the VIN plate is missing. I tried to research the difference between the 750 and 850 frames to identify it, there are no numbers on the steering head but it does have 064140 stamped on the tank mount (without a dash) which according to Dave Comeau's site dates it as a 1973 frame. The tubing appears to be Imperial so are there any other clues to identify this frame or how do I measure the steering head angle?

Cheers

The 1973 joint 750 / 850 parts book lists 063079 for the 750 (after 212275) and 064140 for the 850 frame so it seems fairly certain that an 850 frame is what you have.

That's excellent - Thank You Richard
