Norton Commando description
Low Mileage Completely Restored British Beauty. Current original
mileage is 6086, may increase slightly as I continue to enjoy this classic
ride.
This bike was parked in 1987, sat unused until I purchased
it almost 3 years ago. It has been completely rebuilt and assembled to original
(Boyer ignition added) by a British motors specialist with 25 years of experience. It has fewer than 100
miles accumulated since completion.
The machine is nearly perfect. It is difficult to
describe/remember everything that has been done. The bike starts easily, runs
beautifully, sounds awesome, and shifts smoothly. The wheels run true, the
brakes work well, handles better than new. Tickle the carbs, kick her a couple
times and she roars smoothly then settles to a steady idle.
This is a matching numbers bike that has just undergone a
complete mechanical/cosmetic restoration. Every single part from this classic
was disassembled. The frame and all other steel components have been tastefully
powder coated either black or silver (EX: air box, color is more like
aluminum).
The engine was completely rebuilt with a balanced
crankshaft, rod and piston assy. New Superblends and crankshaft studs, jugs are
bored +.060.
Throughout the entire
machine, every bearing, bushing, seal, gasket, o-ring, washer etc. have
been replaced and upgraded to the best available.
Head rebuilt with new black diamond valves, guides, seals
and springs. Head steady upgraded to 850 type. Timing chain tensioner added.
Oil pump rebuilt. Gear box rebuilt. New sprockets and chain.
Boyer ignition conversion.
Brand new Amal 932 carbs.
New Isolastic conversion set front and rear. New NJB shocks.
All electrical components are either original or NOS Lucas.
Stainless
mufflers, rear fender, swing arm rod/caps, chain adjuster, spokes.
Brake caliper and master cylinder rebuilt.
Speedo and tach professionally rebuilt and reset to original
mileage.
Beautiful newly chromed pedals.
New Dunlop K81’s (Japan) with Dunlop rear and C.W.C. front
rims
Steel fuel tank has been sealed. Tank and steel side covers
have been professionally painted in Royal Fireflake Blue. British made decals
on tank and covers have been applied and covered with 20+ applications of clear
coat. The finish looks incredibly deep. The paint is flawless.
Imperfections are (1) there is a 4” scrape on the lower
right header pipe where it meets the muffler. See the picture. (2) The oil tank
rear rubber mount is fractured (PN060636, $8.00 at Old Britts). (3) There is
not a tool kit. (4) Turn signals light up but don’t flash.
This is a great bike to ride or show. They don't come much
better.
