Thought this article from Motorcycle Classics, March/April 2016 Vol. 11 No. 4 might be of interest to some of you Nortoneers out there.

Very nice. With the quality of the bike, I would think the seat covering could use a little more thought.
JMHO
 
I'm not crazy about the pipes and muffler selection either. Those unprotected pipes must roast the riders legs.
Commando's are a bit like the "Mr. Potato Head" toy with switchable eyes, nose, mouth, ears, etc.

Kenny Dreer built the definitive Interback years ago for David Edwards.

Which inspired me to convert my black Roadster to an Interback.
Yeah, that guy's seat looks like hell. Mine looked way better. Wish I'd kept it. Oh well...

I liked the Inter silencers but I like the way they look perhaps not liked the way the scorch you.

Noticed the slack seat immediately.
 
I really like the fastback seat shortened to a single, is that bob-tailed? I haven't seen one for years.
