Hi Jean
voila des images
As you can see this modfied "oily" Commando isn't a show bike, but the owner ride and knows the machine since twenty years...

this one is a 850 MK2 and came two years ago from Rabers (San José)

this one is an original 69 (erotic bike) apart The 18" wheels and the single Mik carb

and mine a 72 engine housed in a 70 frame, since I changed my wheels for 18" and BT45 brigestone

That bike suffers from the same issue as one of Paul's bikes does with the smaller wheel under a 19in fender. The smaller wheels don't fill out the Commando quite as nicely as the stock sizes.

Very nice bikes! And they all appear to have fiberglass tanks. You must not have to worry about alcohol in the fuel (sigh).

Do you have a late model center stand (bolted to the cradle)? How does it clear the crossmember on the early style frame? I have never tried that. I always assumed it would interfere.

Very nice bikes, looks like you are having way too much fun. Now if I could get mine to France....

You have to take any automated translation with a grain of salt. siège = seat and not what a human uses to sit on a siège :wink:
