[ROVERNET - UK] O.T. Norton Commando

[Stephen Beer]

Hello Peter,

All Commandos had the Isolastic rubber mountings.

The earlier ones (including my '71 750) had to be adjusted with shims.
Round about '73 they went to a vernier adjustment which I switched mine  
to.
Much less klugy.

A fussy, diabolical machine that sticks it's hand down the front of  
your trousers when the road gets curly.
