Is that an after market starter I see there. My old Commando was kick only as the starter killed the battery totally. How's it work on your restored bike. Absolutely top job by the way, love Commando's.

Starter is Alton from France , it's aftermarket .starts ok now but had a few issues, now solved but took months from France, but that's the French for you.
No it's not a loose thread, the seat is actually quite well made for American gear ;) ;)
It is removable with a lock
Billet control panel is opposite earth to the UK but I adapted it quite easily although Colorado said it could not be done.
