1968 20M3 Commando Frame Replacement Documentation

I am gathering information for submittal to the Antique Motorcycle Club of America on the program established to replace frames on the 1968 20M3 Commando. The Widow Maker frame, as it is referred to, has a history of breaking in both the backbone and down tubes. (discussed at length on this list) The factory and dealers established a program to replace the original frame with a factory developed replacement. I have not been successful in finding any factory/dealer communication or documentation on this program. Can you help?

Can we ask why ??
Noting that you have 2 of these beasts....

I would contact Joe Seifert at Andover Norton. (Member ZFD)

Thanks Russ, I will follow that.
Rohan, AMCA does not judge bikes with replacement frames, would consider factory/dealer recalls. Working on developing proof of offical replacement program.

I'll add this to the reasons why I stopped being a member of the AMCA years ago.

Thanks Alan for this important piece of information. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/Sea ... !543230671
