Ease said:Nice bike!

But does anyone have any first hand experience with them detonating on them? I wouldn't mind picking it up to ride for a bit while the CB gets finished....

My buddy Tamara had one. it was underpowered and asthmatic and carb probs and started hard but she rode it , then she asked me if i, as just a friend , would help her to buy and teach her how to rebuild and tune a 750 commando. i did over the course of a winter, and when she and her german boyfriend rode to Nashville with his brother, both die-hard Harley dudes, the Commando did the whole trip without a blip and the HD's cost them time and money,, yeaaaaa.sclay115 said:There is one of these for sale locally, are they good scoots?

Overhead cam 4... yes 4... valve per cylinder head. My brother in law bought it new in '74, I bought from him in '80 for the price of a new Kenmore washing machine! Many good memories bombing around Middle Georgia on it. I traded it in a truck :'(
