This is the after.
Was only a gentle canter though.
The pre load is a bit stiff for the road, it’s doing a track day at the weekend though, so I’ll leave it be for now, then soften it up a bit.

Your riding outfit is a great look!
Now all you need is a tie with Commando painted on it...has to match the color of the bike.

No, my buddy Terrence, lifelong motorcyclist, hung up his helmet, the stang is the replacement. He let me drive it....

Just sitting here admiring my ride and would like to thank everyone who has helped me the last 6 months. Learning from everyone here has been a real joy. Not all forums are like this one. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to give some of this knowledge back.

Yes they do have a large out let... they were made local tradesman here in my city (years ago beautiful quality) by a guy that was a classic club m/cycle guru...since passed on...my mates reckoned it was the go to have that sized outlet and at the time I was running a 7s cam smoothbore 34mm mk2s and another head ...that combination made it sound more like a speed way motor and was really ( edit) ONLY happy at full throttle work (the things you learn) I ended up getting the cam re ground and nitride hardened to a mega cycle profile with radius followers (now about 1/4 race for improved mid range)Very nice indeed sir ! ...Cheers
