Commando

Hi, just finished wiring my 850 Mk3 (phew!).

Hello, I read somewhere that once grit gets into an oil tank that's it's near impossible to get it all out and after a week of flushing out this seems to be true.

Hi All,
When kicking over my nearly finished MK2a there is a weird clunking sound from K/start area that only happens when under load with the plugs in, fine without the plugs.

My new commando notes book has arrived. Its a shame that the commando R is missing from 1969 notes. The Commando R was the stop gap bike which led to the roadster. There were only about 650 made and most went to Canada and America.

Hi,

The fork leg drain screws are slightly chewed as they were REALLY tight, so I thought, blow the expense, lets buy some new ones.
Andover Norton say part number 060354 is Fork Slider Drain Screw (UNC)

I need to repaint the white mudguards and tank on a Mk 3 Interpol. 
Does anyone now the paint code / ref?

I have experimented with some LED bulbs and am making an effort to post what I have found in case it is of any use to someone.

Hi All

First time on here so be gentle please.

I have a 1976 Mk3 850 with electric start, my wife has been pillion on other bikes but doesn't want to go on the Norton because all she can see is my back! 

OK I give up... I've searched this and other resources but can't see anywhere how the Breather Hose to the oil separator clip (06-5569) is fixed/located.

I have just finished the restoration/rebuild of my Mk.3 and trying to get the carb set-up correct. 
I have Tri-spark ignition fitted, and have strobed it, so no problems there.
