Serial number problems

bbellardmore · Feb 8, 2021

I am trying to find out the year model and size of my engine. I have spent all morning looking at different sources online and still can't make sense of the information as it pertains to my engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't feel comfortable with sharing the entire serial number then give us everything but the last three digits.

For one thing it's not a Commando. And not technically a Norton. Well, sort of. I will say that I believe the CSR is relatively desirable although an engine alone may have greatly diminished value.

Welcome to world of the Hybrids.

This might tell you a bit about what you have. But there are other resources. https://g15csr.wordpress.com

Also @L.A.B. may move this to the https://www.accessnorton.com/ClassicMotorcycles/ajs-matchless.33/ area.

Good luck!

Have been away for too long. Looking forward to my new shop though. She Who Must Be Obeyed keeps asking if I have found "our baby" yet. I always regretted selling it but still looking for 70 Commando Roadster s/n 137706. We were the original owners of this bike and would like to see it in the family again..

You may want to start a separate thread on trying to find your bike.

Check out the hybrid sub group on the AJS and matchless groups.io list server - LOT of G15CSR owners there that can help - independent from the main owners club
