Hi Norton Folk ..Have just aquired (well permenant loan) a 74 850 Commandohave had triples all my life so this will be some fun and i expect some dumb questions comming from me so i hope you will bare with me First obvious issue with this machine is the front forks bottom out and have very little travel ... I've had a quick look took the caps off and the nuts holding the springs in place ( a tad different to triples up front in the guts ) ... looks to have progressive springs ...are there any tricks for new players here ..I measured the travel with no springs and it looks to be about 100mm (4inches) top to bottom of the travel which is a fair bit smaller than i am used to .. with springs in the travel when the bike is off the stand is less than 50mm (2 inches ) ... i would have thought clearly something not right here.the springs them selves are 480mm longappreciate any feed backthanksSteve
