I have owned the bike for about 18 months, I bought it from an older gentleman who had not been using it so much so I had it fully serviced invoices available and replaced both tires and tubes as well as the kickstart gear linkage which was not quite right.
Also had the carbs rebalanced and new tickler sets just to be safe. It runs well, changes cleanly and goes as a Commando should. Up for sale Norton with a little over 2, original miles. The bike was purchased from the original owner after it won first place for best restored motorcycle at the Detroit Autorama in it's first showing.
The first owner bought the bike new in all documented , took it home with 8. In , he decided to ride it for the first time. He converted it from a high rider to a roadster using aluminum tank and side covers fabricated by the master Evan Wilcox and fitting a Corbin seat.

MK III isolastics were installed and stainless fasteners were used in critical areas. Within few months he became ill and passed away never having ridden it.

It still has the break in instruction sticker on the speedo. I have included pictures of how it looked when purchased and photos of how it is set up currently. The bike has always been stored inside and has never even had water used to clean it. It has never been in the rain either. I wipe it down and polish it.

Trans shifts smoothly. Next the not so good. Top frame rails removed, as happened back in the day, for a different tank. Nevertheless the frame appears straight to my eye. Wheels are rusted to the point of being good for hubs only.
Not sure if the front end is a Roadholder. Long crack in the left slider and one fork leg buggered at the top. Only appears to be single leading shoe.
