[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 73439, member: 485"] Thanks Rob, After riding my Standard Comet with standard seat fittings it will be like a Roll's !!. I am not trying to stop bottoming, Just to keep the rear frame away from the Alternator, And the rear mudguard wacked under the Rickman seat at some time in the past when it was a "D". The Motor Cycle press, Back in 1970, Talked of the Sticksion with Standard Commando's, Also they topped out, ie, Went Clonk when you gave it some stick !!. Mine has not done that for many years, But I have made them a bit longer than standard to miss the Engine. Can't wait to get it on the road, Just spent 2 days trying to fit a hand made Alloy Petrol Tank, It's all I have left, So it must be made to Fit !. Just had to take a hammer to my nice new tank, It's too tight where the Oil Filler comes out !. I don't think I will build another Special, Too much Trouble !. Cheers Bill. [/QUOTE]
