Norton Commando Mark 3 Roadster description
I've
owned this bike since 2007. Bought it
with 14,400 miles the odometer - now at 28,400. It's been an amazing ride these
past 14,000 miles. This bike rides and handles like a dream. It's had all key
upgrades and meticulous maintenance over the years. Pictures below were taken
today (July 13). Note: this is not a
“barn find” that would need another $5K-$7K to bring up to snuff. All of that investment of time and money is already done and road-tested. Appearance and styling: - Peashooter mufflers with adapter mounting kit from OldBritts - Euro-style bars (shorter and lower than stock) - Corbin Gunfighter seat - Rear sets - Hagon shocks - New chrome headlight holders - New front fender Electrical: - Starter motor upgraded to 4-brush - Heavy duty starter / battery cables - High-output 3-phase alternator - Podtronics regulator/rectifier - Power Arc electronic ignition and dual fire coil - Shorai lithium iron battery - 5K ohm spark plug wires/caps Engine and Drive train: - New gearbox main shaft bearing, misc. seals and overhaul - Recent new chain - Replaced layshaft bearing at 20,000 miles - Barnet clutch plates -
Valve job (Raber’s in
Other: - Brake calipers (both front and rear) rebuilt with stainless steel pistons - Magura front master cylinder upgrade kit - Tank sealed with Caswell’s sealer - Stainless spokes and nipples on rear wheel -
- Single Mikuni 34 mm carb, K & N filter - Stainless fasteners everywhere – axle nuts, primary, gearbox, timing covers, etc. - Stainless braided oil lines - Stainless braided head oil feed line - Stainless braided rear brake line - Neoprene valve cover gaskets - Both tach and speedo were rebuilt - Venhill Teflon-lined clutch cable - Fork seals replaced recently
- Bezels on tack and speedo slightly different (that way when I got it) - oil leak from primary area - 2 of the 4 console warning light bulbs not working (high-beam and ignition lights) I have no experience with shipping but can work with you on this end, if needed. |
