I see that H&H have a Blue Commander up on their March sale. It looks very smart. Is it a known bike ? As I may well be in the market for another one to replace my old one. Which as usual I should never have sold. Mick

Re: Rotary partd

Hi JB. They are asking for suggestions for NEW parts to be made for//by them for Rotarys. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Give them your thoughts i.e. Rotor bearings side plates what ever. You never know if enough people want a part it may well happen. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Classic front springs

I suspect that a P O has changed/ messed about with the front springs on my Classic. Is their a way of beefing the front end up. On my Commander I cut the springs down then replaced the removed portion with a alloy billet. Any advice welcome.
