This is not a show bike, it is a daily rider and the over-all cosmetic condition of some chrome parts is not A1, although solid. The potential to turn it into a show stopper is a definate with minimal effort but it also looks good as it is.

The machine rides and handles well. The response it has been getting is positive all the way.

Just to put things in perspective, if you were to build a machine such as this, the break down figures in parts are as follows:

• Norton Commando frame and swingarm - $1800
• Triumph pre-unit 650cc engine in this condition - $4000
• Triumph slick-shift gearbox in this condition - $900
• Norton Commando complete front end - $1000
• Triumph wheel 68 TLS front hub with Jones rim - $750
• Triumph conical rear hub with Jones rim - $500
• Manx fibreglass petrol tank to fit Commando frame prepped and painted - $800
• Swept back pipes and reverse cone short mufflers in this condition - $250
• Seat and oil tank - $200
• Alloy guards - $150
• Everything else (clip-ons, lights, reg/rec, battery etc) - $1000

And this doesn't include the cost of labour, modifications or rego!

In conclusion, a solid, practical street ridden motorcycle featuring loads of custom work with killer looks and performance to match.
