It's funny how times changeKeep it up guys, add starters, stiffen up the swing arm, upgrade the isos. I don't know how you will beef up the crank and cases but you'll need to do that too.
Eventually you will have converted the bike into the most desirable model of them all, the MK3!
Seriously, it does look like a good system, probably better than the MK3.
You must be in better shape than a lot of usI am old ,stiff and sore .... however the Commando is not a difficult bike to start with kick lever , once procedure figured it almost always one kick and fired up .... lots of videos online starting with slippers , flip flops and some by hand ... while I sometimes used to wish for a button lately bike works so well , no need , been a long time since it quit at a light etc. ... to each his own , eh ..... story in recent Classic Bike Guide on a Vincent the owner starts it with sneakers on claiming no big deal , for example ...
Ha ha that's one way of looking at it!!Remember...Norton had planned to have E start in the Commando much earlier than the Mark III. Those who have installed E-start on pre Mark IIIs are just "completing" the work Norton wanted to do but the bean counters wouldn't allow...
So if you have installed e-start, you can argue that your Norton is as Norton intended it to be!
Ha ha that's one way of looking at it!!
My 750 has grown a starter motor a braced swing arm, uprated ISOs a disc rear wheel etc etc I have a norvil belt drive and clutch (it's actually the best clutch I have ever had on any motorcycle) I like to think my bike is what they would have been like if they'd carried on making them into the 80s
Having said that there is nothing wrong with a stock 750
The Commando cries out for something unique, like the old Coffman shotgun cartridge starter.
Way cooler than the plain Jane E-Starter.
Picture yourself leaving the restaurant, inserting a cartridge in the Commando primary, turning on the key, and pulling a lanyard on the starter trigger.
Bang, a puff a cloud of smoke and your loud Commando comes to life.
Super cool!!!!
