I think I might be correct in presuming the Commando fly wheel is usually made of cast iron ? I was wondering if anyone makes a steel replacement for it.. I would like one without the balancing hole bored in the counter weight. ( As would be used in an Atlas 750). My 850 crank has the hole filled with a threaded steel plug which is held in with blue Loctite, and the ends of the thread are punched. If it ever came out, during a race,something very nasty might happen. Normally I would not worry, but I am thinking of allowing one of my mates' sons to race the bike.
I don\'t think a billet crank is necessary for a Commando. The crank bolts are 3/8 inch, from memory. Triumph 650 3-piece cranks are held together with 1/4 inch bolts and do not let go.
