Log book says '78, certainly after '75 'cos it's electric start.

 

Bit of a grey area as its imported from the UK.

 

As for the pipes, I want to keep it standard.

Thought I could just make out the starter above the gearbox. Norton made a neater job of the electric start than Triumph did back then, I think triumph put it in front of the crankcase and it messed up the shape of the engine casing.

 

Nowt wrong with standard, I just always liked the look of the SS Commando.

Always like the Commando and the Bonnie, never owned either and guess I never will now, just have to make do with my retro Bonneville Scrambler, Brit Iron, made in Thailand LOL

Had a 750 Norton Atlas for a while but could never afford a Commando .

850 Commando, 'nuff said.

 

 

Brings back fond memories as my dad had an 850 Le Mans when I was a child and he'd often take me out on it.

Noisy!

It's a beautiful noise!

Love the way a Norton drops into corners without effort. Hate the brakes though they just don't work!

The brakes are an eye opener for sure (to coin a phrase!)

 

 

Thanks for the link.
