Norton Commando description

OK Guys - Now that I have your attentions, let's try this again. Up for sale is an ALL NUMBERS MATCHING (engine, trans, frame with clear title in my name) completely rebuilt/restored 1973 750 Commando Roadster. Every nut and bolt has been restored, replated or replaced. It has 5 miles on it since completion. I have over $11,000 invested in this bike excluding my labor. As you can see it shows very well. The paint and seat alone was over $2,000. Here are some the questions I received and answered during the last auction: Q: Did Colorado Norton Works build the bike? A: No. I did, but I take that as a huge compliment. CNW builds the the best Commandos on the planet (in my opinion). Over the last 17 years I have spent a lot of $ with them and received a lot of help from them as well. Q:Who built the engine/trans, and is it stock? A: The engine/trans was assembled by Terry Parker at Parker Performance (see mrbsa . com). Terry has decades of experience with British twins and has built a dozen Norton P-11s. The engine was balanced w/ new piston/rings/bearings/gaskets/seals, and a complete valve job. The trans has had the layshaft bearing upgrade. Q: How many Nortons have you built? A: Two. I finished my first Commando in 2000 and redid it again in 2009 (see last photo). That 850 now has 15K miles on it and still runs strong. It would not have been possible without the help of my friends in the Nation's Capital Norton Owners (NCNO . org) and Matt R. @ CNW. I put my 16 years of experience with this bike into the 750 build. Q: Is the tank fiberglass? A: No, it is an original steel tank that has been completely stripped, sealed with POR 15, and custom painted. There is zero body filler in this tank. Q: Does the bike run? A: YES. It runs well and lights off on the first or second kick every time. Don't believe me? Go to YouTube and search for Mr427Man. I will be posting videos. Q: Does the bike leak? A: NO. BUY IT NOW, They all leak eventually. Q: Why haven't you ridden it? A: Because I'm an idiot. I was trying to keep the bike as clean as possible, the center and side stands have never touched pavement. BUT now I have put in some break in miles on it and will continue to do so until it sells. The stands still have not touched pavement, I take a piece of carpet with me on every ride. Here are some other details. The rebuild includes: Completely rebuilt engine with Superblend bearings, fully balanced Transmission layshaft bearing upgrade New swingarm spindle with cradle fix completed TriSpark ignition Rebuilt Amals, properly jetted and synced Vernier front isolastic New sprockets and chain New clutch Complete new exhaust w/ polished stainless pin drive exhaust nuts Honda front master cylinder Modern switch gear New rotor and stator New PodTronics solid state voltage regulartor/rectifier Gauges rebuilt by Nisonger Custom Corbin seat Custom paint Alloy rims Stainless spokes Stainless front fender stays New Avon road runner tyres Original Norton/Lucas tail light assembly and reflectors New kick starter and shift lever Rechromed foot and brake pedals There are some custom one off billet pieces I had made that include the ignition switch mount, license plate mount and battery bracket/breather tank mount. The tank is a a repurposed (new) brake/clutch reservoir. Please see the photos. There are the major points. There is MUCH more not mentioned. The winner of this bike will be getting a one of a kind, tastefully modified (in my opinion anyway) and improved Commando using modern upgrades to a timeless classic. Check my feedback and look at the bevelhead Ducati I sold last year. The new owner is very happy. As you can see, I don't sell junk. Please email me any questions and I will be glad to answer. Again, this is a nice bike. Thanks for looking. |
