slowly setting it up how I want, swapped the boards over to the pegs off my old bike and now doing grips, suspension and few other lil things and then the exhaust and take it from there....
Keep yas updated when I get out on the blacktop stuff cheers, Taddy

I prefer the Commy to the LT, but would change for a storm when the time comes. Looking forward to your finger getting better so we can see what its like.

Dealer spent 6 hrs labour swapping out pegs.footboards from my old bike to the commander which included swapping rear brake master cylinder and making a bracket to support the fluid reservoir...so yes it can be done but a bit ofr a pain if you don't have the bikes to interchange the bits, cheers, Tadpole
