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.

 Below is a partial list of the many upgrades I've done:


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 San Jose, CA – in 2007)

                    

 

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

-          Avon tires

-          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

 

  • The Cons:

-          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.

Some motorcycles bite, particularly those with a kick starter. Kick starter levers sometimes “kick back” as any past or current owner of a bike with a kicker will attest. But what would you do if you discovered your bike really wanted to get you?
