Finishing up my fireflake blue 71 roadster. What is the correct decal color for tank and sidecovers?
 
Decal Color
 
Does your bike have the ignition lock in the sidecover & frame (not gearbox cradle) mounted centrestand?
 
According to the parts book, the decals for 1971 were: "Gold/Black Edge" or, "All Black".
 
The sidecovers and aircleaner plate are from a later bike. Thanks LAB, think I will go with the gold with black edge.
 
1971 brochure does not show a blue flake Roadster, but does show a blue flake Fastback.

This has a black w/ gold tank decal and a (probably) a gold w/ black side cover decal. This would be the same pattern as the 69-70 'S' and Roadster. The black edge is difficult to see against the black Fastback side cover. I have seen original '71 Roadster tank and side cover in black which used gold w/ black on both. 1971 was the first year black was an optional color for Commando.
 
I see British Spares in Australia has the black with gold surround tank decal. Are there any other sources you guys know of? I need that one for my 750 S.
