Hi belsk, and welcome. Definitely some local Nortonisti - I'm just a couple miles west of Boston and know a few other fellow Norton owners/riders in the greater Boston area. I'm sure more will pipe up.

Great folks here, you'll find a lot of encouragement and technical advice, and as I say, local resources should not be lacking either. Happy to help.

Best of luck!

Welcome Belsk
My ex wife is from Mass. :roll:
You got the best sort of Commando, a project. You will have really bonded by the time you got it rolling.

You too?

I'm about to enter therapy for what my MKIII is doing to me psychologically. Rebuilds are tough on the old brain.
