Hi,
I'm sorting out some bits on my new to me MK3 1978 Commando including front brake rebore, fitting new starter motor etc.. As I am a novice/ learning about maintenance on classic motorcycles, once done (and as it involves the brakes etc.) I was thinking of getting it checked out and potentially serviced again so it is safe, for peace of mind - could anyone recommend someone who could do this in the Manchester area? I had a look on the service part of this site but assume there aren't many that offer this as most people do it themselves. Anyway any help would be great. Thanks,
Nathan

I suggest that you contact Peter Shand. He rebored my master cylinder and is well known for his starter motor upgrades. He is not that far from you either.
