Starting cafe racer restoration Commando 850 MK3 from Spain

If someone forgot to put the dowel #19 (part-no: 06.7621) back on reassembly what's the worst that can happen. Asking for a friend.
 
I suggest you need twin discs on the front. A Commando is too heavy for one, if you really get it going. The rear suspension is probably more important than the front. When control is lost by the rear suspension, to the rider it often feels as though the problem is with the front. The rear suspension also affects the way the bike steers as you accelerate out of corners. When the rear squats when you accelerate, a neutral handling bike will usually tend to self-steer in the direction you need to go.

Hello,

This is going to be my third restoration-cafe racer-project and my first British classic bike so I am probably need your help!
Due to work and family reasons I use to spend one to two years to finish my projects but I will certainly finish and the result with this great motorbike will certainly pay off.
I bought the bike from a guys than document me he order in 2006 the following professional work from an experienced mechanic in Granada (South Spain) made in 2006: polished rims, hubs, fork, triple trees, polished and painted frame, rectified and reapair heads and cylinders,.

Since then the bike has being stored and the engine has not run so supposedly it should have 0 kms.
Find here some picture of how the bike is

My plan is to use the same Lithium battery I used on two of my 1000cc Ducatis it is quite small and produce CCA 300A, Capacity 5Ah. I hope it will be powerful enough to feed the starter motor.
