I never expected anyone to tear down their running bike to fiddle with the rods, but someday before I use the Commando rods that I took the photo of, I will certainly work them over so they do not have the stress risers they do now.

It will be little trouble for me and it is an old and accepted part of putting an engine together that you care about.

It was interesting to see the different ways the factory prepped their rods, in different years, and on different shifts apparently....

Maybe someone has some other interesting photos of factory rods?
