Does it look as though it was made on a motorcycle factory or a pram factory ?
It looks like it was made in my shed!
Last on a racetrack in August 2018!

It is the lightest gear change I have ever used!
When I looked at what you have done, all the angles looked right. After I had fitted the TTI box, I found the problem - I did not realise the box was longer. I could have done it your way, but it was easier to simply phone Bruce and arrange a swap. The other thing is, I am probably a bit strange - I like to keep my bike looking a bit authentic. I can remember what the bikes were like back in the 70s. These days a lot of our 'historic' bikes are nothing like what was raced back then. The guys are having fun and that is important. But when you look at most of what is raced at the Goodwood Revival, our Australian bikes are a joke.
Well along the lines of "looking original" has anybody buffed out a TTI cover? In its natural rough state it does stand out a bit on my street bike.
If you want to know what a 6 speed TTi can take do remember that the NZ made 750 SBR Norton runs one, probably around 100bhp on methanol! I don't think your 850 even on methanol will worry it too much.
A really good 500 Manx and your Commando are probably not as far apart on top end power as you would like!
