Random thoughts while waiting for a breakdown tow

Lost the drive chain.
But, have you ever noticed how the lettering on some side covers are pointed up? To correct mine, I added a couple of washers to the rear bolt, on the underside of the cover. Then an extra rubber washer to raise the front of the gas tank. Leveled everything out and the modification is invisible.

forgot the pic

Nice touch.

What is it about flanged rims that seem to really improve the looks of Commando's? (and many other bikes)
