Call for details: 320-243-3797WE SELL WORLDWIDE 1971 Norton Commando, no title. It's pretty much complete, but it's in rough condition and needs restoration. At one time, one of our mechanics removed the top end. The pistons were standard, and in fairly nice condition, and the bottom-end was tight. The con-rod bearings were solid and the cams were undamaged. So we considered freshening up the top-end and getting the bike running. But there was so much thick oily sludge in the bottom-end, we felt the crankcases should be split and be more thoroughly flushed and cleaned. We reassembled it -- so-to-speak -- to safely store it until we had time to overhaul it properly. But I have nearly 30 Nortons awaiting restoration, and at 68 years old, I realize I'll never have time to restore them all. So I have decided to sell this one. As it sits now, the kickstarter works and the engine turns over smoothly and freely. We didn't inspect them, but the valves and rockers are installed. Push rods are not installed but are included. The inside of the gas tank looks excellent. Transmission shifts through all gears. Clutch and primary seem good to go. The air cleaner element is missing. Tachometer is missing. Left header pipe is not useable. Mufflers are missing. All cables need to be replaced. Gas cap is missing. Side stand works well. Center stand is missing. Lots of nuts and bolts are missing. Right side cover is missing. No title. Any motorcycle parts that you do not see are NOT included. Please study photos carefully. Feel free to ask for more photos of this Norton. We restore vintage motorcycles, so we can restore it or build it into a chopper, bobber, cafe racer, or any custom design.
