[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 101973, member: 59"] Yes - I’ve never tried it but C tommy bars are identical on single & twin so the D twin spindle must fit a Comet. The bracket shown as a thoughtless idea was more or less what I had in mind. If you dummy up something of that sort, two drilled plates some spacers and studs, you can mount the cowl and see where the bottom lugs fall. You'll need to compress the rear suspension as load on the fully sprung seat will put more pressure on the springs than a Comet normally experiences. Once you have it levelled to your satisfaction you can see if a shouldered peg bolted to each pillion plate will carry the bottom lugs. I use my plug socket on the special nuts used here and on the rear wheel spindle. My avatar shows the Knight with a cast rear wheel. This used one brake, standard Vincent drum on the left. There should be no problem having both brakes fitted. [/QUOTE]
