Hello all,

thought I need to register on this great forum and pay the fee as a Vip member. So I can give just a small amount back, for the technical input which was very helpfull to complete the resto of my FB.

Its a Fastback MKIII from 1971. Matching numbers 153xxx. I purchased it two years ago from a belgium classic bike dealer. Mostly italian bikes. The Norton was the only british bike he had and he wasn't much interested in. So I thought I need to give her a reasonable home.

WIthin the last thirty years I already played a lot with different britbikes, BSAs and Triumphs but I always had an eye on a Commando. Since I completed her I made already 3tkm without any trouble and enjoy her very much.

There are two pics..before and after the restoration.

At '67, I CAN still ride it, but it's tiresome after 30 minutes unless it's highway miles. Not bad at all on the highway.

clip ons on my Fastback are just about OK IF there is also a full tank bag and above 50mph….still not the same as 21 years ago though! Now considering change of bars and losing the JPN fairing, sadly, as it goes with the Fastback styling really well.

Bonjour David, Bienvenue sur le forum mais je crains que le Français ne soit pas la langue adequate ici!
Amicalement.
