Re: 1974 Commando 850 Dunstall build.
just 2 things to look at. the drive side trans adjuster will be imposable to use as is, turn it around to face forward. 2nd IF that is powder coat you WILL NOT keep the bolts tight with powder under them or against the engine cases

Chain guard spacer
Fork nut spacers
Sprocket and front mount
BArrel
New seal on brake drum, new bearing buried in there
Starting to get there. I'll put the rear wheel on it as soon as I swap out my spare on the combat.

Well why do they do that, right side for the front left for the rear, I was half right.

Re: 1974 Commando 850 Dunstall build.
Looking good Brent.
You do a very nice job.
Just to add my unwanted opinion.....
How about making the 750 Combat into the Production racer lookalike, and the 850 into a nice torquey Roadster.
Sorry................ I'd be happy with what ever you do there.
AC.

Re: 1974 Commando 850 Dunstall build.
That is an Idea, but...... The combat is so original, I can't bring myself to changing it. And I kind of like the "sleeper" look. Looks like a plunky old brit bike, but then twist the throtrtle and holy @%#&!!!!!! The 850's were both piles of parts and I don't feel bad modifing them. Plus the combat runs under its own power and I don't want to mess with that.

Yep I get it, makes sense to me.

Re: 1974 Commando 850 Dunstall build.
I have a set of Dunstall clipons and a bonus front fender coming this week. I sold the ones I had a year ago, never thought I would need them again.
Hopefully this week I canget the cases in the milling machine. Then a little paint and I can assemble the engine. It's nice having most of the parts waiting around. Things couldn't have worked out nicer.
