You are a fool to buy this piece of trash. Where are your brains. It's a piece of junk.
By the way, you wouldn't have the phone number of the guy selling it handy would you. I would like to call and let him have it for trying to swindle one of our finest members.

What the hell, right? It's only money!!!
Well done, I think you got a decent project for the right money. The days of regularly picking these things up for a few hundred bucks are long gone, they are only going to get more difficult to come by and more expensive. From time to time someone gets lucky and happens upon a great deal, but this is the exception rather than the rule - after all someone else also seems to win the lottery.

It's home! All-in-all, I'm really happy with my $1650 purchase. The guy also threw in a decent transmission (not locked up) for $150.. Not bad!
Some random crap to other bikes (P11, Atlas, god only knows what):
Additionally, the guy said he had already ordered new F.A.G. bearings for the motor (said he paid $130) and he told me he'd mail those my way when they showed up. He seemed genuine enough so I'm hopeful those will come as well.
All-in-all, it was a good pickup. Glad I took a flyer on it.

My wife wishes it had been you to find this one and not me! LOL
I hope the bearings show up. The guy was really nice and seemed very genuine. He said he was more into Triumphs.. That could help me source a hardtail frame for my #16 Commando motor, though.. ;D

I'm very happy with the purchase. I think I met a good contact for future norton/triumph finds and this bike has good potential too. As far as we can tell, it looks like a legitimate numbers-matching 1970 (titled as a 1971) S-model, with all of the correct indicators. I'm not a huge fan of the S but it makes me really think about bringing this one back as nearly stock.. Idk!

T-bone is a good guy, I think he'll come through for you. The fifth picture down in the what the hell category is a disc caliper holder from a Japanese bike, probably a Honda.

Yeah, I think this transaction may well have been more worthwhile for the networking than anything, although the bike is nice too! I'm hoping T can dig up a nice hardtail frame for me..
Thanks for the ID on that part. I doubt I'll keep most of the stuff in the "WTF" pile if it's not commando, so any help I can get on identifying it is good.
