Well, sorta. The rear wheel/sprocket dampers were AWOL in this 1974 Norton Commando 850. There were no signs of wear or tear on the interlocking parts as the bike has been in moth balls for quite some time, but is now getting exercised on a weekly basis. After mounting new tires and truing the spoke rims, I installed the new dampers in hopes they stick around for a while and keep this old ride smooth and happy!

And last but not least, the little and large damper buffers.
