Too many to list of course, unless my wife totals up the costs - then i might regret it :D
 
Hmmm. Well there are the baseball cards attached to the forks that clatter against the spokes, the extra-long multicolored streamers for the ends of
the handlebars and the faux leather saddle bags with applied zircon encrusted galaxy spelling out "Born to leak Castrol" upon them.
 
Dunstall finned rocker and points cover( looks superb)

External oil filter for 71 bike

Brass exhaust nuts ( originals also look good and don't seen to slacken)

New wiring loom.

Dyno Dave clutch pushrod seal

New rims and spokes(cheers barry)

Orange seat( comfy on the butt)

Every part I've ever bought that fixed a breakdown.

Valve guide tools.

828 cases

Mick hemmings adjustable isos.

all my mallets, hammers ,files and punches.

And finally to the guy that sold me my first Commando ,cheers! You bullshiting ahole!
 
All the little goodies I have on my bike from CNW. So far it is the Reed valve crankcase breather (Comstock Eng.), the hex fork seal nuts, Stainless cylinder stud kit and the stainless cylinder head stud kit (All ARP high strength studs and nuts).

I also have Old Britt's oil pressure gauge set up.

Another really great item is Dyno Dave's clutch oil seal nut.

The next thing from CNW is going to be their exhaust nuts and wrench.

It would be one of your iwis chains of course Andy ! Actually the chain has been brilliant done around 2500 miles so far cheers baz
 
CNW front master cyl kit - front brake feel/power like a modern bike

CNW 520 chain kit

Alton E-start - with CURRENT (2014) alternator rotor.

Fauth Fork Mod

Trispark

Swingarm clamps (can't recall the brand but purchased from someone here on the site some years ago.)

Shorai 18 Battery
 
Dyno Daves clutch pushrod seal
Reed valve crankcase breather from JIm Comstock-best improvement so far
New clutch hub-Barnett fiber plates, and taking the time to set stack height correctly.
H4 headlight
 
Ordered by warm-fuzziness:
The Bike
FleaBay $20 front master cylinder (yes, it can stop!)
Voluminous tank bag to carry bike cover/tools/extra jacket/lunch
Cheapo auto parts check valve for the breather hose

By practicality:
New tires (40 years was none too kind to the front rubber)
That same master cylinder!
Mikuni carb

That master cylinder is probably the single most impressive addition that lets me ride without constant fear of crashing. Now, if I can just avoid the shiny metal boxes...

Well everyone should know by now my love of the Joe Hunt maggie, thats been the best money ever spent followed by Jim's Flatslide carbies, they work so well together, but more power and speed the next thing was the Grimca 12" floating disc, calipar, M/C and S/S hose and now it stops like a moden bike, Lansdown front end kit.
