I've got 2 but they can be a little fuzzy...Forgot to ask, do you have just one mirror by any chance?
Are they 12" unladen?I took a look at these shocks, pretty worn out but they don't wiggle. Mounted on the bike they measure 12" shouldn't they be like 13"?
Should be more like 12.6 I think? Others will know
13" according to the factory manual (12.9" according to the Girling list).
Definitely too short thenThese are 12 off the bike
Whatever he did It's made the center stand useless unless you're a gorilla...Definitely too short then
Not sure if it'd cause your issue, but I don't think it helps imo
There is a little bit of technique to put a Norton on center stand and do not need to be a gorilla.Push down on the center stand extension with right foot and pull bike backwards. If the center stand 'feet' are damaged such that they do not roll when the extension is pushed down and pulled back then that is another matter that will need attension . Someone of slim build and average strength can put a Norton on the center stand .Whatever he did It's made the center stand useless unless you're a gorilla...
I think the problem here is the shocks are 1" too shortThere is a little bit of technique to put a Norton on center stand and do not need to be a gorilla.Push down on the center stand extension with right foot and pull bike backwards.

I agree, short shock and 18" wheel. I've owned a few commandos in the past and know how to put it on the center stand. I took it off, for now, I can't use it until I correct these issues.I think the problem here is the shocks are 1" too short
That makes it a bit harder than a standard commando
