Oh Oh, you may be too smart. Not really. You'll love getting into this bike.
I am certainly down with making a Commando out of what you have. The most improved contest offers much pride ( and not much else).
These Commandos are simple and straight forward but demand proper setting and procedures. When one thing is wrong they're rotten, but when they are right, they're righteous. Trust me, that's all part of the fun with this incredible hobby.
Finding parts is no real problem. The amount of choices is. What kind of tires, ignitions, head gasket, pipes, carbs, on and on and on. There are many suppliers and I think I have used them all. I think that's the trick, from within the states, Canada, NZ, and of course England. I shop for the best quality and then go for the best price.
Just for a teaser, there is one aspect that really throws people for a loop and that is how remarkable smooth these Commando's are going down the highway.
Get the workshop manual and figure out how to post photos.
Welcome to a healthy addiction.
