I don't know if any of you NOG Members are interested in a total restoration video blog on YouTube or not. But I am starting one today. I have never done it before so it might be a little rough on the edges. My Garage is about 90% complete now and I will be starting to work on the Norton again.
If you are interested or just plain bored you can find it by typing in (Norton Commando restoration Video #1)... and 2 and so on.
Thank you,
Bruce

Pretty decent "before" donor bike, should make a great contrasting "after" comparison!
 
It was a hodge- podge of different years of bikes put together. But it was a good starting place to do a resto.
I can't wait to hear it run some day. Hopefully by spring I should have it back together. I will continue with the videos as I go along.
thank you
Bruce

Too many times down that road, never again. It's not even all that wise to have a roller that's "mostly complete" unless you have the stomach for it. Certainly no profit in it, but I'll never learn.
 
I finished up a 70 Roadster last spring, took about 18 months to get it up and running. Now I'm off and working on a 74 Mk2A. I tell my wife it's a sickness.

Beautiful man. That is about how mine should look when done. I am going with a fiberglass front fender though. The metal flake purple looks great. I have never seen a green one so that is the colour I'm using. I see you are using the fiberglass tank I am going to try and make a metal tank but one gallon bigger but look identical to the original one.
 
OP's video series is very useful! Seen the whole epic tale so far....keep them coming Man!

On a similar note I have just seen on the AN site under the news tab (scroll down a couple of pages) that a book on restoration is now available by Chris Rooke
