Does anyone know of where I might find the rear full width top cover, single seat and rear fairing piece for the radio antenna and blue lamp for an ex West Midlands Police Commander please?

Classic petrol tap

Forums

Hi there - I need a petrol tap for my Classic. I can only find one for the Commander, which looks similar but it is mounted on the offside - if I fit it to the classic the fuel outlet will point forward, not a big deal but would like correct part.

Norton Rotary New Rear Chain Gaiters

Forums

Its thanks to Chris Harvey’s hard work that I now have two brand new rear chain gaiters. This means that I will be able to keep my Commander on the road for the foreseeable future, these bikes are not designed to be used without the gaiters as they provide an oil bath and subsequently the lubrication to the rear chain and output shaft outrigger bearing.
