My Norton Is Finally Done

gslaskin · Jul 2, 2011

After years of fits and starts, my 1974 850 Commando Roadster is done. Finally. For the moment, anyway. Took some pics this morning. Enjoy.

Enjoy I did. That is just stunning gslaskin!
And welcome too.

Christ, that's fine. As "PROPER" as Iv'e seen. Brings a tear to my eyes. Bravo! I don't know what's inside but on the surface that will be tough to deny awards.
Let's go ridin! The only thing that would break my heart is if you said you drove it around on a trailer.

Super nice looking ride.....could it be that it's too clean??? LOL seriously though...nice job. Cj

You made my morning. Choked on my cuppa tea. Only adjectives fitting are WOW, AMAZING, FANTASTIC, SUPER, JOLLY WELL DONE, ETC. Nice job. Now ride it every day you can , enjoy your work, put a smile on your face, and share it with others.

Undoubtedly better than when it came off the sales floor. Nice, welcome. Happy trips, but you know they are really never done.

Great inspiration for those of us who have a Commando still in the project stage, thanks for showing it!

Better than anything I'll ever do!

Bloody hell glaskin, thats beautiful! Truly inspirational and a fine example why Brit bikes or Commando,s are popular and worth persevering with!

Where are you located? Who did your paint work?

Gees gslaskin you set the bar a bit high don't you think? I just gave mine a bath & was going to get started on polishing some parts back to shine but now I just sort of feel like it futile. I do have to tell you though, I got a super powerful magnifying glass out & I can see one (1) little speck of dust on the inside tread of your front tire!

Gorgeous!!! Now go get her dirty and put some happy miles on her!

Inspired in Texas!

Nice attention to detail in restoration.
Even kept timing cover screws original.
Most are allens when rebuild occurs.
Love the 74 850c.c. Norton at its best.
If I ever got off the combat it would be only replaced with a red 74.
Super job. You'll be asked many many questions along the journey
Be patient they just don't know :roll:
Its a Norton thang!!!!

That is one super job.
So nice I'd be afraid to get it dirty by riding it.

Can you give a run down on what you did to it and how was it when you started.
