Is it possible to change out the P11 mainshaft with a Commando and then run the Commando clutch? Will it fit under the P11 primary cover?
BillT said:The tin primary on an Atlas/Dommie is different from the alloy primary on the AMC bikes. I imagine one could put a filler between the two halves to give more chain room, but then one would have alternator issues, as the stator mounts in the outer primary. I don't know if you'd have a good match-up between the rotor and stator if you bumped the outer cover out, say a 1/2 inch to clear the chain.
It's hard enough to ensure clearance between stator and rotor as it is.

This the 7/8", 1", 1-1/16, or others ............and you need the OEM 7/8".
TFE cable liner is excellent.
correct clutch lifting cam is important.
In the end, it does require period hand strength to use the clutch with ease.
