Re: 1973 - The Commando
Cool!. I do have a few things I'm looking for the best source on such as the rubber bits for the oil tank mounts.
Do you have a decent rear fender?
Glad you are following along.

Re: 1973 - The Commando
Been slow going. My day job has been keeping me busy even after hours lately. I decided on a black fastback rear fender. I also picked up a halogen replacement for the oem Lucas headlight that was just awful.
I'm working on my wiring harness this weekend. I mapped out the connections for the bar controls and I believe I have everything I need now.
In the background, you might notice I'm also polishing up the pipe for my YZF.

Re: 1973 - The Commando
They were compulsory here in the early days, and it took many years of complaints to get the regulation changed.
The vibration of the number plate and brackets combined with holes drilled to mount same were very efficient at cracking the front guard.

Re: 1973 - The Commando
The Commando is still on my lift but progress has been stalled as I shifted my time to the YZF track bike(s) and prepping the ZRX and my wife's FZ6R for an upcoming road trip. I'm considering a few options on the Commando after talking with Dad. I'm really wanting the P11 to ride instead. Might even consider selling the Commando to fund the 65' Atlas featherbed project. Shiny.

Re: 1973 - The Commando
Yeah, it's actually a 1960 BSA 500cc Gold Star Catalina Scrambler. It's a beauty. It is worth more than the Commando certainly. Dad and I haven't made up our minds on that one yet. For an old scrambler, I dig the P11, probably because I've ridden it.
