Norton Commando 850 Race Project

- Опубліковано 11 жов 2022
- This old race bike came to me as a project - had not been running in years, owner/builder had passed away. Turns out it was very well-built and needed surprisingly little to get it going again. Still needs a bit of sorting - too much sticktion in the forks, primary cover keeps shearing retaining bolts, needs a belly pan and fairing, final drive gearing needs work. Otherwise, should be ready to race for 2023 season!
Very very cool greetings from across the pond :)
What a beast of a bike! Lovely.
It's such a shame the track is in such deplorable condition. Bike looks fab. The family must be proud to see the old Norton in its natural habitat. Best of luck going forward. You have a real gem on your hands.
Wow…just wow…
As a newer rider, I love discovering bikes that I never even knew existed. I love the bikes of the past much more than the current ones.
Thank….i enjoyed the ride
Loverly, what more can I say 😂❤
I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel. Did a bit of mid-lifing over covid and finally went for my motorcycle license. I made it out to the track a few times this season and I really dug the old school bikes more than I thought I would. Looking forward to seeing this one.
She goes good!! Great video
Nice freaking ride! A little work, according to your description, and that will be an amazing bike.
Just fabulous 😊🇬🇧
Nice👍
Oh, OK! Thanks!
That's a great Commando, with all the right parts, the previous owner knew what he was doing. I'm interested to know what gearbox you have, and did he add a 3rd Isolastic mount underneath between the engine/gearbox ? Have a great season and please keep us posted.

Wouldnt think it would hold together long with duralamin valves and what is a 40mm total loss primary drive? Looks like a air cooled belt drive to me?
Andre was from Nova Scotia. I raced with him oh... 20 odd years ago. Just wondering if that was his. I believe Andre was a fishermen by trade.
What rearset is on the bike?
Former Andre Leveque Norton?
