If it can be bought fairly cheap you don't have to make it 100% original. This summer we assembled a 71 Commando out of budget or donated pieces. The single best thing we did was to try 6 different handlebars. Ended up with a set something like a T140 but a little lower. It looked better and felt better than any of the others. ( you are NOT obligated to have the low, short European bars). Both of us are 5"7". It had the original blue metal flake tank and a set of flanged aluminum rims powder coated black. I made a much simplified wiring harness. It is a unique and good looking bike built on a budget. Of course the motor, trans, and iso's were all rebuilt.Andover Norton has the tail loop you can weld on.
