No, the cable bent in an acceptebale radius. Throttle runs free. I made the cable by my own. Not so stiff as original. Maybe that is the reason haven't any issues. I will make a picture later and share with you by PN

That would be brilliant, thanks. Mine has a stainless steel sleeve the cable runs through and it takes up too much space, be good to see the radius I could get away with. Thanks.
 
My joy

Here is the picture FE was looking for....I wanted to be able to take a picture of them together....the other bike is a GT500 Suzuki twin.....

Rickman has added stripes....and a few stickers, like the John Player Norton ones......I know I need bigger ones....but you can still see the difference in shade of the blues!

Very nice.

I have a solo hump for my interstate tank that was a scratch built job from the 80s, doenst look anywhere as nice but I like riding with it. Maybe I should just get it recovered.

There’s a lot of Matt’s stuff as well as Jim S and Jim C’s inovations
Just about done sorting things out and I’m really really pleased
The bike is a #’s matching 72
Combat that I got for my dad.
So The concept for the build was to try to make sensible upgrades and modifications that would lend itself to taking advantage of all the innovations,upgrades and sensible modifications that are available to our Norton community….without sacrificing the heart..soul and charm that makes these bikes so addictive
So I think at the end of the day I wound up with a killer Norton that now is much safer ( thanks Matt )
Completely trustworthy and reliable…with greatly improved performance ( thanks both Jim’s )
Last thing…it’s beautiful and makes me smile whether I’m riding it or rubbing on it.a few more shots of the bike and my other 71…that one is pretty special too…that is CNW # 012
After Matt worked his wizardry on it bringing it to a more current state of Norton…thanks for looking and reading

Hi all,
new member here, though I have been lurking on the forum for close to 2 years after having bought my first Commando.






Hope the Imgur links work and produce a picture or 4.

Thanks Jerry for letting me join this group of knowledgeable and jovial characters.......I have already learnt a lot about Commandos from you guys...thankyou.

Cheers

Norm
