can Electric starter be added to 74 Commando

stephm42 · Oct 5, 2015

Hi,
Looking to buy my second commando. 73 Commando 850 was totaled in 1976. My bucket list includes a Norton. I would like to get a 75-76 MK3, but they are hard to afford as I approach retirement.
Not sure it makes $ sense to convert but thought it was worth asking.
Thanks

Hello Steve,
They are on the pricey side, Im sure you'll get some opinions, here's an old link with some pics. I have a 75 MK3 with a starter, but it also kick starts very easily with one or two kicks

Thank you for the link.
These are exciting times for Norton bikes and their owners. If I only had a Norton
