This particular numbers matching Combat Commando was customizedinto show bike in 1986 by New England yacht builder who hand fabricated theProduction Racer replica fairing and front fender out of carbon fiber. He alsofabricated the rearset controls, fairing and seat brackets out of stainlesssteel. The addition of genuine Gus Kuhn (made in England) seat and TT style fuel tank completedthe transformation. Unfortunately the Imron paint heapplied blistered and this bike was relegated to his backyard shed for the last20 years. purchased this bike in October of 2012 and restored it to it'sformer glory keeping as many of the original parts as could as an homage tothe original builder, and it still has the original Lucas head and tail lights.  This bike has beendisplayed at the Simeon Auto Museum in Philadelphia PA, the Modern Classics Bike Show in Boyertown PA (it's also in the book) and won its class at the2013 Radnor Hunt Concourse‘d Elegance, and several other bike shows.  It starts easily and runs very strong.  It is registered as an antique and ridden on the road occasionally during thesummer and always gathers crown where ever it is parked.  Unfortunately health concerns mean am no longer able to enjoy café style bikes with kick start, and it is time for someone else to enjoy this bike.Details as follows:Complete restoration in 2013 with fresh paint on body work, older urethane paint on frame, engine and transmission.
