so I'm new to this forum but I'm not new to motorcycles..i was on the lookout for about 4years.
i finally found a original owner bike a 1972 commando..it was all there..had some minor mods
it was taken care of by a english gentleman now that he is old he wanted to sell some of his stuff
and the Commando was for sale..funny thing was it was going to be between me another guy who also wanted the bike
the owner decided to allow a mini bidding WAR.the highest bid gets the motorcycle..but i lucked out the other guy that wanted
the motorcycle said..no way and he didn't want to bid for a motorcycle.so i went and picked it up a few days later!!
i need input as to how or what level i should fix the bike?
its all there just anything old and rubber like is dried up..so I'm in the process of changing some small things just to hear the motor
and determine my next step..
any help would be welcome or info as to what in getting into..
