Looks like he's got a decent injector on there rather than the Lake widowmaker

No worries
I don't blame you for not doing Facebook as it's 90% dross
I got drawn back into it after 10 years of boycotting it because I was sick of seeing photos of people's dinners!!!
But I went back because of the bike stuff on marketplace

Some nice work except for that long exhaust tip.

Supercharger on a Norton with a 4LS drum brake. Balls out

Looks like the same CRS Ceriani copy brake I have on my P11 but it is painted black. It's barely enough for a pair of 35mm FCRs. I did not read any accompanying text if another brake was listed somewhere.

I seriously can't imagine a Norton engine would last that long with a supercharger on it if ridden hard. If just trailered to shows and meets it would probably last forever though.

Those kettle weber bbqs are nice.

So does the Drouin powered 850 drop quick into left handers and a little slower in to right handers.

My '74 Commando always seemed top heavy to me. I don't think the Drouin would have helped other than possibly making the bike faster in straights, which could be fun.

I'm surprised you thought a commando seemed top heavy
