Hello,
I have finally convinced the wife I need a Commando. I ran into a guy who has a 1971 750 and a 1973 850 and he may be willing to sell one. Both have been had the front ends changed to have a disc brake and have Mikuni carbs on them. I think he has done other things, but can't remember the details. He describest hem as more ridable with these changes, which is what I'm looking for. I'd rather be able to ride it often than have everything correct on it. I haven't really discussed price and have just started looking at what else might be for sale out there.
Do you all have any recommendations on things to look for and be wary of? I know next to nothing about Nortons and look forward to learning.
Thanks,
Walt
