Good looking bike. 1 question if you don't mind me asking - what kind of pipes are those? I'm getting ready to start a '74 850 project and have been looking at different pipe options, but only seem to be able to come up w/ the stock options.

Looks like RGM's 050114 short reverse cone megga system? http://www.rgmmotors.co.uk/images/full/full_471a.jpg

Thanks LAB - BTW is it me, or does that motorcycle look huge on the rgm site?

Thats them, orderd through motopartsinc.com in Edmonton.
Seat color was a risk but I love it. Can barley go for a ride without someone wanting me to pull over to look at it. Any comments on the black bars? I love the black, it grows on you, but second guessed drag bars.

It's a pretty bike. I've considered black bars myself as I've had a history of getting corrosion on them. I live near the ocean. You have shwon me they could look pretty good.

Bars are really hard to see in that picture.

Great looking bike...always enjoy looking at a non stock bike...adding your own touches is what putting a bike together is all about in my opinion...(once youv'e got the engineering right!)
I have an 850 1973 mk2a, but I am not happy with the big square standard back light....what is that light you have there? Can you give me details and another photo or two?
Stu.

Great looking bike, I really like the contrast between the brown seat and black tank, great job of personalizing a Commando.

That seat really sets it off. You don't see many non-black corbin seats
