Any idea which of these is correct for a 1973 750?
Or is one for a Triumph?
Thanks.
Handlebar clutch perch question...

They both can be used for a Norton. I believe the one on the right is for later bikes- 74-75 and left one for earlier bikes. I am not sure the exact year when they switched.
If you are going to use end mirrors off the handlebars then I would use the later model, as it does not interfere with the clutch lever when it is squeezed. take a look at my avitar and you will see what I mean. I found that out when I put my mirrors on the European bars of another earlier Commando. Moving the earlier version up the bar away from the handle grip would look kind of weird. If you are using a stock Norton mirror where it goes through the hole in the bracket then either will work.

Yes, both types apply with Norton ,but perch being the sweetest tasting morsel the Great Creator ever made. :wink:
 
The L shorter 'cuter' one is what came on both my '72's 750's. I found I could have mirrors under slung for both sleeker look and a clear view behind w/o arms in the way. Shorter non Norton 45's bent stems were needed for my regular issue bars. Gets close to tank on lock but no touchie.
 
Does anyone out the know the part number of the clutch lever mount on the right???
