Acotrel I have said this many times here and i will say it again for your benifit, my 850 Featherbed rides very smoothly on the road, the motor was build for the Featherbed frame, I can sit on 40 mph in top gear all day around town, but it does ride even better above that speed, but under 40 it will need to be put in 3rd gear, but very rare that I sit under 40 and any Commando will straggle to sit under 40 in top gear, so have you ridden a 850 Featherbed on the road before, as you keep telling us you never ride on the road so how can you come up with these claims, I built my motor around a stage 2 in the performance section of my old work shop manual with the 2S cam with head work to match as well as a few other things, but I also got the crank balanced at 72%, if I wanted to race my Norton on the track I would have built it as a stage 3 which is also in my perforance section of my old workshop manual, but it would be no good for road use, but that was in 1980 when I built this Featherbed, there are so many new perforance parts these days compared to what was around when I built my bike as well as the internet which was only a dream at that time.
There was no UTUBE in them days.
