That is a sweet bike from back in the day...
Very clean, Good job.
Looks kinda like my '78 750 Bonni.
Wow. That's beautiful :thumb:
Nice. Now make it into a race bike.

:biggrin:
Nice job though!
Mark, that's a hella pretty bike. :thumb:
Gracias for the kudos, folks... :thumb:
Dave....would love to race it!
However... I think the owner would probably kill us. He got a brand new Commando like this one when he got out of the Navy in '74. Of course Kyle put some of his own styling cues in here and there, but still doing justice to the original.
Mark,
What did you & Kyle all do to it?
I might just have a project for you...
Mark,
I've got a bike I've been thinking of getting road worthy. Maybe you guys can help out.
I've got 2 questions though:
1. Can you assure me it'll look as nice as that Norton you posted when you're done?
2. Between you and Kyle, which one is the 'brains' of the operation? This may sway me in my decision.
Here's what I've got........

Give me an estimate on what it might cost to get it looking like new.
Thanks Buddy! :thumb:

I like it. I think you should put it in your living room as art.
Seriously!
It looks like art to me. Do we have an opening bid for this incredible piece? Perhaps, we should start the bidding at $150.
