Here's a pic of my 72 Commando. I built this up from a basket back in 2001. Last summer I got it on the road again after a few years of being preoccupied by my Busa. The tank is a pattern Norton production road racer piece, the tailpiece of unknown origin was found at the Dave Sproul Swapmeet, The pipes are "S" types patterned after the factory.
I grafted a XS 650 yamaha fork into the stock triple trees then added twin disks and calipers. The rim is a rear 18" rd rim mated to the xs hub. The disks are still quite heavy even after being drilled.
I like the symetry of the twin disks and love the stopping power.
This year I'd like to either replace or have the carbs sleeved. As well I've an alloy fender waiting to meet a fork brace. I've an alloy tank thats been sitting on a shelf for a long while as well.There's also a repaint and..and..and.
You get the picture.
