I am at the point of adding decals to my new tank and refurbished side panels. I looked around to try figure out if measurements exist for the correct location for a ‘72 Commando Roadster 750.

When I do a current test by inserting a multi meter in the circuit, my 1936 Model 18 is using about 60mA despite everything being off. I noticed that the battery was slowly draining over a few days so did the test.

Further to my previous queries regarding the correct return spring , has anybody familiar with the GB 8  box got a definite original or correct spring that they could photograph please. 

I have two questions concerning the electronics on a 1963 electra .

 there is no current coming from the post on the solenoid that feeds 

the brown wire , its to left of the yellow ignition wire attached to the

It seems my 6 spring clutch on my 31 Model 20 has 2 different sets of springs.

Are these springs the same as the later 3 plate clutch?

I would like to put in 6 new springs

Hello

I have read about people fitting later Commando cam in Dommies. The reason seems to be that a solid cam don't break as easily as the hollow Dommie cam. Of cource this means fitting another type of breather.

I have one of these fitted to the front wheel of the es2 and a Dunlop gold seal k70 fitted to the back wheel...…… no coding is on either of the tyres although they both look in good condition and ride well

Not since the Vincent have I seen a bike with two side stands. I am finding it difficult to use the centerstand and the ground  angles don't allways  work in favour.

Whats the correct engine oil weight on the electra , im changing

the oil for the first time, the odometer reads 5.535 miles , this bike

has been stored in a garage since 1982 and hasnt run since it

We hear a lot about the supposed ill effects of this so I decided to carry out a small experiment.
