Pictures of your Norton Commandos

I removed the tape pin striping from my side covers (it had been applied in reverse fashion) and during the course of a front fork and brake rebuild, I swapped out the "spring cover style" gaiters for the small cap style. A bit of cropping and changing to noir made for a fun photo, even though it's just a driveway pic. I got photo bombed by a neighborhood kitty!

These photos are from August 2024, but it was such a nice ride, upstate NY...!!!
I can't say that i love the Avon roadrider tyres, they feel quite wooden in turns. Any recommendations for good touring tires?

What a beauty!

Looks a lot like mine.

Roadriders are good tires. I don’t run them on the Seeley cos it runs race tires. But I’ve got Roadriders on all but one of my road going classics and have used them on the track as well.

What pressures are you running ?

Here’s its cousin…

I'm a real fan of RR2s
I find them grippy, confidence inspiring and no tendency to "tramline" like some others.
Just about to click up 7500 miles on my very worn rear. Got 6500 from Battle-axe BT45, which had less grip.
I run 30psi front & rear on my '74 850 Interstate.

Just a thought @Marian , you didn't accidentally opt for the greenie/renewable/sustainable "Timber Compound" option?
Would explain the wooden feeling!

Yessss, that bike looks fast!
I’m running with ~28-30 psi on the tires. My other streetbike is a husqvarna FS450 with Michelin Pilot ct2, and maybe it’s the contrast in Confidence that makes the avons feel mediocre.

It is !!

Those pressures should be good. The only other thing I can think of is: is you’re suspension too stiff?
