Even in pieces it will be worth a substantial amount. If you're not over there already AccessNorton.com is an awesome resource for us Commando owners.

You can't follow the hoses up? I bet one is a fuel tank vent and the other might be the gearbox breather? It's not kosher to have engine breathers open and it won't be the battery because you probably have a sealed AGM battery?

The 750GT is the least expensive of the round cases, and they are still expensive. The worse scenario is to have and 860GT, the least desirable of the bevel twins. They aren't worth much (relatively) and cost as much to fix up as their vastly more expensive 900SS brethren because they share so many parts. #dontaskmehowiknow You might want to sit down after seeing the asking price on this bike: http://www.bevelheaven.com/bikes4sale/BH-1972-750GT/index.htm And no, your Commando didn't appreciate at the same rate. #alsodontaskmehowiknow

Yeah, next time you're bitching about trying to fit a full size part on your bike just watch this thing to get some perspective.

There are two things that you can be assured of, one: the parts will be stunningly expensive, and two: paying someone to rebuild the engine will be stunningly expensive. Like your wallet will be crying expensive. If I had the money and was in your position I'd do it for my brother. Or buy him a house. Same cost.

So none of them have broke with your test rig?

I wouldn't want those made unless they were better than the stock ones.

Are your relays new? Did you check all of your wiring? Did you read everything ever written by Kiwi_Roy?

I was trying to be optimistic. But back to the distribution model. If someone wants to set up an ebay store and sell these things I believe ebay can help manage the shipping and customs. I think it would mostly be putting them in a bag and getting them picked up. 50 of them at $1 ea to get them made and sell for $5 would almost make it worth the effort. Stock ("updated") spring from Moto International is $1.84. Who wouldn't pay $5 for a spring that didn't break? You do know the next thing we're going to ask you to make, Chuck...

Great, what are we going to do with the 19,000 extras?

Totally understand. You’ve done more than your fair share. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I learned one thing from Mythbusters it's that if something doesn't fail you change the perimeters until they do. That and they had the best job ever. You say that you're using a 15mm mount, what is the other size that people are reporting that was supposed to break springs? Perhaps try that set up with a stock spring and a new spring and see if you can get one to break. We want carnage!

Now I need to get a CARC and see if I can prove Pete wrong.

Until the spring or clutch breaks.

There are rumors he may not still be alive. Has there been any recent evidence he is?

If anything he needs to learn the difference between engineering and making it work. Not always the same thing.

I guess I forgot to post a link to the videos. First up is my cohort Mike and his playlist of videos. I'll have a separate video I'll post soon. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgDzKiI-i6nagu8Q6fjRJGR-pmz9DgAd6

Fun!

The target is any spring that will survive your bike. How many springs have you broken?

Right, but how about a picture or two?

No idea. I believe they are being sold out of Italy so it's always risky! Shore up your browser, use a burner credit card and go for it!

Good choice. Although I'm sad you only have one bike.
