On factory Combat Trixie, I have measured 3/8" LH offset from center of spine in the under spine brace tube at the flats of the head steady thread bores. I can feel it just by finger judgment, so felt up Ms Peel's tube also to feel similar off set, but not measured yet - to stay in denial maybe a bit longer, as Ms Peel had her share of smack down to match Trixie's, just not by animals.
I put level on spine tube to get 90' edge to use micrometer to check R to L offsets.
So my question is - Are All Commando's made with non-centered brace tube?
Need reality check. My small tubes are welded in mid line of stem and spine. I can't see a bend-gap arc with a straight edge laid on them.
So what gives?, me on Norton factory dimensions, or the tube by brute force?
Also for extra credit, how close to center of spine-stem are your factory rear rims set - centered or 3/8" off to the LH? Rear mudguards centered in rear loop, do not center over my factory wheels/tires by ~3/8" rim LH of center.
I know the engine-gearbox or offset ~3/8" to LH, I'm told for more chain clearance.
