1970 Commando

Glad someone brought your bike up this morning Pete because it does me good to look upon it again. A day maker.

Luckily they were still with the bike when it was pulled from it's sleep. I don't believe they are available otherwise.

Thanks J. As you know, I could use the distraction from "other things" on this forum! Thinking of maybe taking her out today, high of 39 and dry... Definitely ain't Texas...
 
Been thinking of finally investing in some leather myself..... Caught the pneumonia riding the Norton in winter ages ago and never want to experience that again. Just be careful..... If you wait for perfect weather you'll never ride though. She's English anyway and born and bred in lousy weather.

Rabers used to have some NOS ones.
But they only do service and restorations now.

I got my pair from them:

And yes! Metalflakes rule!
Here is my blue 1970 Roadster besides my friend´s one. Normally I also have the "S" exhaust sytem mounted but shortly before.
the bike meeting the left hand pipe broke. So I had to install the Roadster exhausts.
He has an original fiberglass Fireflake Purple tank. Recently we also found matching side covers.

My ‘69 750 S had those white capped nuts in the parts box. After assembling the bike I suspected where they go. Appreciate the confirmation.
