Pictures of your Norton Commandos

Maverick · Feb 27, 2013

My '74 850 Roadster pre-teardown. Don't let the pictures fool you, it needs a damn good tidy up.

Previous owner may have run it a bit lean...

He also believed that the answer to all his problems was "MORE POWDER COAT!"

Steering lock definitely doesn't work

And here it is in all its glory now:

The other bits are around here somewhere

My Monoshocked Commando , built in 1994 - i call her the Maverick Commando coz she's a bit different from all the rest

Hi,

do you have more pictures of monoshock rear? Any technical dara on springs or shock absorbers?

chilly · Mar 6, 2013

Hi Pero
Sorry mate , no pics of that part at the moment.
Its all from an 89 Yam FXR600 + the front end .
Rear shock is fitted to the G/Box cradle so it all moves in the same plane as the engine and G/Box .

Is not mine but of a italian keen and fast rider.

It looks a little rough but is stopped from 30 years, it was very very fast.

Ciao.

That's a nice fitting front mudguard! - What's it off?

I just do a little here and there. I have owned the bike about 6 years. I decided to paint it and from decision to final it took about a month I guess... One day I put new bars on it, the next a set of carbs, just tinkering and adding changing stuff when money permits etc....

One of the first "sticky" thread topics in this section deals exclusively with how to post pix.

Nice setup. Bags clear the upswept exhaust. Excellent.
