The Desaxe head gasket for correcting cylinder alignment is here

Seattle - yes I tested this and many other things on my monoshock when I was racing.. See vid at:


MarshG246 - there is enough play in the engine cradle bolts etc to align the head steady.

mtd-son - In real life there is no gap on one side of the nut. I tried it and could not even get a .0015" feeler gauge to slip under the nut because there is some free play in the threads - try it yourself and you'll see. You don't need to modify the nuts and washers - I've already tested it.

I'm not saying you should tear your motor down for this. But its an easy thing to do on the next rebuild.

I think what @seattle##gs was asking was similar to what I was asking. Reworded: Have you tried it on a standard Commando street bike and what's the point on a standard Commando street bike.

There are LOTs of things you can do that don't make a "hill of beans" of difference to most riders on street bikes!

Of course, some want to make their bike "all it can be" and have more time and money than sense so for them, go forth and enjoy yet another itty bitty (possible) improvement!
 
"Some people" have time, money, and sense enough to know when enough is enough. I have a good balance of parts in a pre-Commando 750 from various vendors, but I live in a one off make it go fast world of my own that requires a lot of odd modifications most would never bother with. Plus my bike wouldn't work for the majority of people on this site. It's not that user friendly. Yep, a waste of money. I should detune it so I can sell it before I forget where my garage is. lol
