Commando nearly there

Chroming back from Hull and fitted - very nice it is too. Carbs also rebuilt with new slides, jets etc and back on. Only thing waiting for now is for the front brake master cyclinder to come back from machining and the bike is pretty much done.
Put some fresh oil and  a new filter on the engine, and started her up - carbs need a bit of fine tuning but that needs a quick spin to warm up to do that right, but not recommended without a front brake.
Classic Bike show at Stafford next week, so might pick up a few more bits as theres a bit of slack in the budget - new stainless front mudguard and stay as some of the cross brace rivets on the old one have rotted.
Shiny bits from http://www.qualitychrome.co.uk/index.php
Wheres the front master cyclinder?

Shiny bits on, carbs back on, tank on, fuel in and started up
 
 Hopefully not long now and its MOT time followed by going into battle with the DVLA about historic vehicle status to get free tax.
