Commando

I've just replaced the air filter on my mk1 850 with a K&N filter so I've had to relocate the ignition switch that was attached to the old air filter back plate.

On a recent ride I felt the clutch operation getting slowly worse, the leaver was become more and more baggy/floppy and the more I was changing gear the more I could fell the clutch was not disengaging properly to the point it was making me creep

I have tightened the sprague clutch nut to 85 lbs feet, (65 recommended by Alton), and it still comes loose at the drop of a hat. Any ideas, anyone, on how to stop this occurring?

I have a 1971 commando, it looks like someone bolted something to the down tubes (photos attached).

Can this be repaired if so could you recommend anyone to do it?

Does any one know what colour Red was used on the 1975 commandos . Was there a paint code ? Or a close match to a red type .

Has anyone tried to find an alternative to the standard Commando bronze bush arrangement?

A friend of mine (and club member) has recently bought a part finished Mk3 commando project, he's got most of the bike assembled but is having difficulties sorting out the wiring, which is about all thats left to do.

I'm looking to replace my rear master cylinder with a Girling 06-5776.
Am I liable to have any problems setting it up, from what I have researched, they can be difficult? 

Hi all,

Hello, all.
 

​I have a set of cases in the mill right now that have a total variation across the deck of 0.013" which can be seen in the image below.
