This one is a bit of a mystery that I am hoping a Norton expert out there will have an answer for.
I have a 1974 Commando 850 The engine though appears to be a 1975 - it's engine No. 333915, it has a Presolite electric starter BUT the gear shift is on the right side.
I was thinking it was a Mk III engine but all of the reading I have done suggests that the Mark III was only ever manufactured as left side gear change to meet US requirements.
Any ideas or thoughts as to what is going on here?
