Hi Cliffa,Sports Motorcycles, who are they then?
I see you flogged the (horrible and unsafe IMHO) RGM caliper adapter. Which one do you have there Dave?

Mighty clean bike, Dave. Welcome.Hi all.
Hmmmm....just sitting here wondering (oh yeah, 71 days until redeployment back to the US of A!!!!!) why there is no "post a picture of your Norton" thread on this forum. Am I missing some area of the forum that folks can post a pic of their Commando instead of on random threads? Seems it would be easier to devote one thread to this topic exclusively sort of like over at the Britbike forum. Just a suggestion.
I am a noob to this forum so just tell me to shut my pie hole if it has been discussed before (it probably has). I for one would really enjoy checking out owner photos of the most legendary of ALL british bikes...NORTON COMMANDO.
She is sweet looking!Hi all.
New member here, just recommissioned an ex US 1973 850 Commando. There may be a picture attached as it is now. The bike came with a 79-80 Arizona Western College decal on the front mudguard, it's suffered the ravages of time a little bit but it's part of the bikes history so I have left it in place. Again hopefully there will be a picture attached, I'm wondering if anyone on this forum attended the college at this time?
Edited 2nd attempt to add pictures.

I have an issue you may be able to help me with... I have a 1971 Norton 750 Commando. I fired her up a few weeks ago for the first short ride of the season and everything seem to be working just fine. I took her out a few days ago for a quick ride around the block, after a little bit there was oil streaming out of the over flow tube in the air cleaner (not sure why it was designed to come out of there but oh well... anyway I did not add any oil so, I am wondering what might be causing this? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
The head is out to Jim Comstock's, I found a machine shop close that can bore the barrels. May finished by the end of JulyView attachment 10494 View attachment 10495
