Norton Commando description
I bought this Norton a number of years ago and slowly rebuilt it at Norton specialist; for me...not for sale.
I'm selling the Norton due to medical problems that keep recurring: I'm 74 and it looks like my 'cycle days are behind me, after starting to ride when I was in high school. All that is left is repainting. I figure you'd rather paint it the color you like. This is what's been completed on the Norton: New complete Fuel system Steel gas tank steam cleaned, internally etched and internally glassed New fuel petcocks and fuel lines New air cleaners New Mikuni Carbs-pair Jetted by
Mikuni distributor for 750 Norton Mikuni manifolds for Norton Mikuni floats adjusted for Norton (Amal carbs can be sent also) New hand grip and throttle mechanism, lever New 1 into 2 throttle cable Carbs synchronized New Complete electrical system New Lucas main wiring harness New Lucas headlight wiring harness Tri-Spark ignition system New plugs New plug wires New battery Dyya 12 volt coil Tympanium voltage regulator Keyed ignition switch New left hand switch-gear (signals, headlights, horn) New Headlight and tail light switches New headlight and tail lights.

removed or increased the number of
plates and checked the condition of the spark plugs until we found the correct combination of plates that
optimized the color of the spark plugs. Gear shifting & Transmission Flushed and refilled with new gear oil No adjustments or repairs needed to transmission; works and
shifts as expected. Barnett friction plates (5) Norton 850 pressure plate Barnett clutch cable New hand grip and clutch lever New gaskets and seals Openings modified so they do not leak.
