cmessenk, nice dash & since I'm getting ready to fit my adjustable clip ons so I would like more pics please.

Sent you a PM from work today. I can take better photos of the fairing, dash & Tomeselli setup this weekend if you want. PM me with your email address and I'll get a "photo package" together.

This Commando really speaks to me. Especially the blue frame and the silencers.

I love to see the Cod variations and think the Cdo may be the world's most modified scabbed on covered up or paired down exposed cycle ever fielded.

Why is whenever I see a new Norton they seem to all have burnt oil stains on pipe below motor.
I know there is a tradition of old English bikes marking their spot but if we can make the original one's leak free why can't the new boys do the same.

It looks too even to be oil staining?

Probably (stainless steel) heat discolouration?

I think it's a case of: "They all do that sir!.......Sir has been running the engine - hasn't he?"

In front of a catalytic converter so that there is a hot spot, yes.
