1973 Norton Commando Race Bike Project - 1st Engine Start Attempt

This was a really nice racing machine in its day but the owner passed and the bike has been sitting for years. I've been slowly going through to see if I can get it back in shape. Today was first attempt to get the motor running.

Great bike guessing compression and cam upgrades. Can't wait to hear it a full throttle.

has a Steve Maney lightened crank as well. New twin Amals are fitted. Once the snow melts, will make sure to mount a camera for track testing - sound at WOT should be excellent!

Never say never but unlikley. Making good progress over the winter in the hopes of being ready for shake-down tests at the track this summer. If all goes well, the plan is to have it ready to race in 2023 season, and keep it racing for another 50 years.
