Ya drilled RH brake pivot to mount a mirror nicely?

No need to drill it, as the threaded boss should have already been there for the Norton "TEX Viewmaster" rear view mirror and stem?
 
Only thing I notice is the non factory horn where the airbox used to be. Instrument cups are the older, polished style.

Carefully check out the profile photo.

And it's the later, longer cup that is polished. But only one.
 
Why not just tell us what you did with a before/after picture? Unless someone is totally familiar with your particular bike, how the heck would anybody know what you changed? ;)
 
Winners all round and yes the instrument cups are the newest addition.I always liked the look of the polished ones on other models.Keen eyes all round though I must say.Mirrors are new but old style.Horn is new but placed there because I cant get to the original.The Boots are Redwings! BTW I thought the pipes were original because they have the Norton stamp on them do they look original?

Beancan muffs are original on most Mark IIIs.

Should've been original on all MkIIIs (at least when they left the factory).
 
I believe the Norton logo on the silencers is only on replacement Andover Norton parts.
Orig's were plain.
Still very nicely done bike.
I have the 72 pictured to the right.
I left the orig. metal in their natural patina with a lite polish only.
You can't replicate true patina it's something that took 37 years to develop and it suits me fine.
Many bikes are over restored if that is a term? :roll:
