Having sat in the corner whilst other work was done, the rebuilt rear wheel has just today been fitted back into the frame.

Has anyone had any issues with runout on the drive side of a Commando crankshaft? When I put a DTI (clock) on the O/D of the crank where the rotor fits and turn the engine over, I get a 3 thou runout.

Anyone out there have a side stand that they can sell me? 1974 Interstate.

Any usable condition appreciated. Can collect from the North West area or Cheque with post and packing funds. Any input appreciated.
