Despite saying just yesterday that I try to avoid featuring projects, I’m going to do it again with this interesting Norton Commando “920”. Oops.
The short story is that the seller is the second owner who bought this bike in 1984, and he put just about 200 miles on it since tearing it down for his attempt at creating “the absolute last word in a cafe-style Norton.” In his words, it has now turned into what might be the “longest-running Commando restoration/renovation/rebuild project on record.” The 920 comes from a 920cc barrel and pistons from RGM Motors in England. Other great parts include some JPN goodies like the front fender, NOS Norton cafe fairing from Ian Kennedy, 32mm Amal MK II carbs, and plenty more.
This specific Norton Commando 920 (VIN: 326861) is numbers-matching and is offered by a seller who’s got a great way with words – I’d recommend that you read the listing just for the history of this bike. It’s got plenty of trick parts, and is nearly complete, but it has sat for too long and the seller needs it to go to someone who will finish the project. Maybe that lucky person is you?
