This will not apply to 99.9% of the existing members, I'm sure, but I know new and potential owners and future forum membes will read this site.
We have had a couple of incidents recently from owners at their wits end, and this would tend to be a sign of the times.
It is frustrating if you buy a MK3 crank and fit it to your pre MK3 Commando and then find that the primary drive you have does not fit.
Equally, the MK3 crankcases, will fit in the cradle of an pre MK3 850, though it is a real pain to find that the Inner chaincase you have will not fit, along with a chain of follow on issues.
Both bikes were nearing completion of assembly. One case the owner thought they were the same thing and the other just did not realise.
The MK3 850 Commando has many differences to the pre MK3 Commando, please do not assume they are the same. If this gets the message out there then it will no doubt help me and others no end.
Thanks,
