Pictures of your Norton Commandos

I have just finished a two year restoration of an early 1970 Fastback. The most unique aspect of this bike is obviously the finish.
The colour, Fireflake Silver, is interesting. It is listed as a colour in the spares list for 1969 and Mortons archive has two pictures which appear to show a light metalflake finsh on these bikes. However I've yet to find a period colour photo to confirm for certain. http://www.mortonsarchive.com/v/photos/ ... 1312270802

I used the Silver metalflake panels on Tony Denniss' Red/Silver bike at Andover Norton as a reference as I suspect the fibreglass used was the same.

Looks cool. I would love to see a close up of the flake on that, and maybe get a paint code. I am trying to figure out what to paint the seat pan/hump on a single seat for use with an alloy Lyta tank.

The peninsula directly ahead should be Tiberon. The photo taken from Larkspur?

Here's my 1974 Norton Commando Roadster that I restored last winter. A lot of hours polishing to include over 15 hours in just the front and rear original stainless steel fenders. Matching numbers frame, engine and transmission. The seat, tank, bars and controls are all original. The paint is obviously not original. British Racing Green was never used on a roadster, but I think the color works on this model. While I left the exterior completely original, the electronics are not. I still have all the original Lucas parts to return to stock. However, I'm using a Tri-Spark Electronic Ignition with new coils and a voltage regulator with new Amal 932 Premium Carbs. Really runs great.

This photo was taken before gauges came back from rebuild at Nisongers and grab rail installed.

Here's a pic of my new acquisition.

Pretty new to the Norton ownership elite, my old man has had Nortons for most of his life though so have picked up a few things as well as having him there as a good resource. I'm sure ill be asking some dumb questions in here along the way.

Nice looking bike, Ben. You should get a lot of pleasure out of riding it.

Well I must be missing something. I have posted or thought I had of my 70 Roadster. When I have gone back there is nothing there. I'm a VIP member so I thought it would be easier posting pictures.
What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated.
