A technical forum for Commandos
The previous owner of my 750 Commando '72 has swapped out the OE Disc Calliper for an AP Racing Classic CP2696-38E0 Calliper.
The pads now need replacing so can anyone suggest a suitable pad as all I can find so far are high performance track orientated pads. The bike is solely used on the road so do not need anything too aggressive.
I am trying to source Avon Roadrunner 4.10 x19 tyre, but a lot of stockists just say out of stock. Does anyone know of a stockist with some in or could recommend an alternative
Dear All
What make & grade of oil is best for my Commando gearbox?
1973 750cc Commando Interstate
Thanks Neil
Where does one go to obtain a couple of replacement stainless spokes?
Haven't had a Commando for about 40 years TBH, but I've got enough parts from a Seeley Weslake that makes building one (Not standard.) a viable option.
However I'm short of a few "Minor" components, namely a frame and engine, but most importantly it seems a V5c.
There's so much conflicting advice out there and things have changed a lot since I last registered anything, I wondered if any of you had done this recently?
I'd like it registered before I spend loads of money and build something that might need a MSVA.
TIA Paul.
Has anybody any experience of fitting a Legendary electronic tacho? I bought one and couldn't get any sense out of it (indicates very low rpm and doesn't respond to the calibration switch). I returned it and got a new one and it behaved just the same. The original was returned to the supplier who says it's OK so it appears I'm doing something wrong. If you have got one of these to work can you please provide a simple fit and set-up guide. (my Commando is -ve earth). Thanks
Hi,
Does anybody know the thread size for the small screws that secure the individual switch components within the Mk3 handlebar assemblies?
Regards,
Andy
Hello,
Sorry for the sad question but does anyone have a video/pictures or details on how to remove the left hand panel to get to the battery? When I remove the seat I can see one nut which I can remove but cannot see anything else I can get to. Again sorry for the basic question but it's been a while. I have a 1970 Norton Commando Fastback. I need a new battery and strap. The bike has a electric start fitted.
Dare I ask a question which I can probably guess ?
Conn rod oilways -should they point outwards to bearing or inwards to crank ?
Norton manual and you-tube combat rebuild does not refer to this although the Haynes manual is specific ?
I have reassembled the crank in the t/chest ready for mating and notice that my Drive side is inwards but my Timing side is outwards. I can still change this but as I've torqued to 43 ( RGM billets) and hesitant to undo and retorque if not necessary
Hello,
Am I correcting in thinking an 850 MK3 Timing cover fits pre MK3 850's, if so is it just a direct replacement that needs no other modifications? Thanks.
