Commando

The bike is a 1972 commando.

I replaced the lay shaft bearing in my gearbox about a year ago as it had failed and at the same time I ordered the full gearbox overhaul kit from AN (06.7279) and index plunger spring.

Hi O Wise Ones

I have discovered that I am unable to fit my newly purchased rear brake light switch because the fitting that holds it is missing from the brake pedal. A complete new brake pedal is 130 plus quid from AN.

I'm trying to form a plan regarding rewiring my Mk.3. I intend to wire negative earth.

Calling Commando experts

Speedo gearbox has given up the ghost (I think - happy to be educated).  I've reseated the cable but still no cable action at all spinning the wheel.  Are they worth repairing or just another part of my order to Andover Norton?

'72 Commando 750 (Combat)

I only get a very weak spark with a Pazon EI (you need magnifying glasses to see it!).  When the bike is running, it runs very well (although I'm only in a breaking in period and haven't exceeded 3800 rpm).

I picked up the '72 Commando that I had won at the HJ Pugh auction on Friday.  The handwritten notes in the file said that the engine. was rebuilt by Walcott Engineering in 2020 and that it had 15 miles of running in.

I want to rebuild my wheels with stainless spokes and rims, but I am getting a lot of conflicting information when I research spoke patterns, offset, gauge, length and bend.

Hi Everyone, 
I joined the club last month and finally got my hands on a Mk.3 yesterday, couldn't be happier!

I have just had the tacho drive in pieces to replace the oil seal and noticed a curious arrangement of washers on the little widget ( I've since seen it referred to as a Spade?) that transfers the drive from the engine to the tacho drive cable.
