Hi everyone. My story is an interesting one. My older brother has had a 1972 Norton Commando 750 for the past 30yrs. I beleive shes a Roadster but I also have a spare interstate seat and tank.
My brother sold me this bike 12yrs ago and I had partially started the restoration but due to cash and space restraints I had to sell her (to my nephew). My nephew had no where to store her so he sold her back to my brother.
Long story...I now have her back. Im continuing the restoration I started 12yrs ago and Im very happy. This motorcycle hasnt run in 30yrs and is quite dirty and partially in pieces but all the pieces are there. I have restored a few motorcycles in the past but nothing this extensive.
I look forward to picking your brains and getting some knowledge from all of you. Thanks in advance.
Current situation, motor was taken appart (12yrs ago). Painted her, changed all the gaskets and piston rings and will put her back together soon. Anything I should be aware/careful of?
Also...New (ish) not Norton ish. Lol
