1972 NORTON COMMANDO

This 1972 Norton Commander roadster was found as a complete rolling basket in Pennsylvania. Over the course of the last 15 years correct parts were collected and upgrades added. This is a rider. It can be a show bike, but I would hate to see it sit. It was meticulously restored every nut and bolt, ground up. Most recently the top end was done 2000 mi ago, new valves, springs, valve seats cut, cylinders honed, new rings, new gaskets, new Barnett cables and clutch, Power Arc electronic points and coils, Amal Premier carbs, new Avon tires, new head steady and front-end triple tree and fork rebuild. Matching frame, engine and trans, original Smiths gauges, original chrome and aluminum, with the classic gold and black on a new steel tank, it definitely is a head turner. I don’t have a choke on it because it became unnecessary, it starts very easily and sounds great. Very smooth and fast, fun ride.

This 1972 Norton Commando is built to go and for show!
