OK thanks . I'll find something . There is a guy here in the states who speciaizes in selling rebuilt vintage Koni's . i know that the length is nominally 12.9 inches and can get approximate spring rates from various sources . I know that the original Koni 7610 series were not made specifically for the Commando but that they can be made to fit with a bit of machining . I have a set of IKON copies of those on my R90S and they work well , but I hear that the US IKON distributor is no longer extant or has had problems getting them from OZ so thought I might try and source a set of the originals .
As to your bike , thanks again for the pics . I'm all the more motivated now to get my other tank and side covers painted like yours . Understand that an interior decorator once told me that red is my "signature " color ( my intials spell red and I have two red cars to go along with two red Ducati's ) so she's probably onto something there . I see alot of otherwise nice-looking Commandos and my first thought is yeah I'd like to have it but it's going to cost me at least a thousand bucks to make it either red or JPN
