Norton Commando description
I bought this Norton a number of years ago and slowly rebuilt it at Norton specialist; for me...not for sale.
I'm selling the Norton due to medical problems that keep recurring: I'm 74 and it looks like my 'cycle days are behind me, after starting to ride when I was in high school. All that is left is repainting. I figure you'd rather paint it the color you like. This is what's been completed on the Norton: New complete Fuel system Steel gas tank steam cleaned, internally etched and internally glassed New fuel petcocks and fuel lines New air cleaners New Mikuni Carbs-pair Jetted by
Mikuni distributor for 750 Norton Mikuni manifolds for Norton Mikuni floats adjusted for Norton (Amal carbs can be sent also) New hand grip and throttle mechanism, lever New 1 into 2 throttle cable Carbs synchronized New Complete electrical system New Lucas main wiring harness New Lucas headlight wiring harness Tri-Spark ignition system New plugs New plug wires New battery Dyya 12 volt coil Tympanium voltage regulator Keyed ignition switch New left hand switch-gear (signals, headlights, horn) New Headlight and tail light switches New headlight and tail lights. Rebuilt engine New pistons and rings Cylinders honed and resurfaced Cylinders ceramic painted Top end Gasket kit including annealed copper head Black Diamond exhaust and intake valves Heads resurfaced and cleaned Valves hand lapped Recut valve seats Springs checked and found within specs New bronze valve guides Anti-drain oil valve (keeps oil from completely draining
from the engine) New head steady and mounts Head steady and other engine mounting points correctly
shimmed to reduce vibration to
the minimum Installed oil filter system Engine run in , then nuts re-torqued and valve settings
re-checked Oil and filter changed after engine run in Tachometer & Speedometer Checked and cleaned/rebuilt where needed-They work perfectly New Tachometer and speedometer cables Exhaust system New gaskets This exhaust system increases HP/Torque. We repeatedly
removed or increased the number of
plates and checked the condition of the spark plugs until we found the correct combination of plates that
optimized the color of the spark plugs. Gear shifting & Transmission Flushed and refilled with new gear oil No adjustments or repairs needed to transmission; works and
shifts as expected. Barnett friction plates (5) Norton 850 pressure plate Barnett clutch cable New hand grip and clutch lever New gaskets and seals Openings modified so they do not leak. Chains cleaned and adjusted. Suspension & Brakes New oil in front suspension No adjustments needed to suspension, suspension works well. Front and rear brakes disassembled for inspection and
adjusted. Brakes work well. Wheels & Tires New Tires and tubes Wheels balanced Wheel roundness checked I have receipts for all parts. They will be sent to new owner |

Moto Electra Equips Electric Norton Race Bike with iPad Console
Fri, 14 Sep 2012Moto Electra has found a new, innovative way to combine old and new technologies in its electric race bike. The Virginia-based Moto Electra has been an active participant in electric motorcycle racing for the last few years, competing against much larger, better funded teams with a race bike using an electric motor and 1950s Norton Featherbed frame. That melding of old and new has produced surprising results, including podium finishes in the TTXGP and victory in a race featuring both electric and gas-powered motorcycles.
