Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum as well as Norton's.
After years an years of harassing my Grandmother she is finally allowing me to take on my Grandfathers Norton. From what I am told it is a 1975 Commando 750 CC, with just over 4K miles. My Grandfather changed the gas tank to the interstate tank. I have never worked on a motorcycle, but I have worked on cars. I would like to keep it as stock as possible.
This was my Grandfathers baby, always kept it cleaned, serviced, always ready. I have a few pictures. Keep in mind the bike has been sitting a little over 20 years, luckily its been in a garage. He was the original owner. Unfortunately not under a cover. I want to get this road ready again, so I have no idea where to start. Any ideas, direction? Anything is helpful. I don't know much about Norton's I have been reading on this site.
