This norton is not a MK3 as that was an electric start or assist, front and rear disk brakes, left hand shift and key up by the center idiot lights. Great bike as is this one.
In 1974 when I was in the Navy I had the opportunity to purchase one brand new in the crate in Spain for $800! And I could have shipped it back for free on one of my squadron aircraft. Biggest mistake I ever made on a purchase. Several guys in the squadron purchased one. The bike is a Legend. I’m a Harley guy but there’s always room in my heart for a Norton! Nice ride!
Another beautiful bike. Dunno where I’ve been the last few years but now I’ve found your channel I’m in motorcycle heaven. You’ve some awesome bikes, some wonderful rare machines, some icons. And as always your love of bikes and your knowledge is inspirational. 👍
hi, thanks for the love, im in the uk, my mate has one of these laying in his shed, half built, i been on at him for 5yrs to finish it, great stuff and many thanks for the reply, love your vids,
Seems to be....but has the MK3 front disk on the left side, yet no rear disk, RS shifter etc etc. So a mixed bag of bits. Still sounds great and easy to make it want every you want.
Very nice bike! But this is not a Commando MK3. Most likely this is a MK2A. MK3 had (among other things): - A gearshift at left side - not right side as this bike. - A gearshift with one down and rest up. - Disc brake both front and rear. - Electric starter / “assist”. - Control consol made of black plastic. - Handle bar switches made of plastic. etc. etc.
But if you know Commando's, the horn is buried deep within the bowels of the bike. They were literally built up around the horn! No way to reach it with a hammer ;-)
