Nice looking bike Peter. Is the Ride Vibratory as talked a lot by many? And didn't the Atlas come fitted with Twin Carburettors? Noticed you using a Toolzol to Fasten the headlamp rim screw Haa? 😂
I have had a 64 Norton Atlas in my garage since the early 1970s and have a concours 63 650SS. When purchased My Atlas was slightly Darker red from memory. It has the original Monoblock carbs. A complete pain in the arse to tune as you have to remoive the right hand carb to get a screwdriver to the left hand carb air screw. So you have a nearly standard Atlas from what I see on the Video. Ignition not standard, You Have a K2F magneto but claim coil ignition. That means eectronic points replacemant, gooçt kit but weld solid the mechanical advance retard. The Smiths clocks give you dreamworld, look good but can't handle the vibration. 1963s had chronometric clocks, a work of art but $$$. That's a nice Atlas, it has been rebuilt 2-3 times, I do bottom end every 20k Miles. Hey I already have two too many Nortons in the garage, how much do you want?
Nice classic bike. 👍
Nice
Waaahhhh....I want my 64 Atlas back.
Sold mine in 72. Damn. 😢
Bit of trouble starting it. We don't get to see it.

650ss was a better bike
