Post Sale Update: As Cas V noted in the comments, this Commando sold for just $4,723 after 14 bids on eBay.

A former personal mount of Bill Bibbiani (former head of the SoCal Norton Owners Club), this interesting Commando is well modified and setup for road tripping.

Bill had the bike for over a decade, and during that time he added Borrani rims, Tomaselli levers, and a shaved seat. He also removed the tachometer. The current owner/seller upgraded the electrical system with a Boyer ignition, Wassell 12V alternator, AGM battery, Podtronics regulator/rectifier, and more. He also added a Clubman Racer steering damper, K&N air filter, and a whole lot of miscellaneous parts. The seller has recently completed a 1,400 mile and 1,600 mile ride with it, which is very cool. The fairing, saddlebags, luggage rack and handlebars all combine to make this a comfortable touring mount that gets 45-50 miles per gallon with much more style than the average modern standard. All that the bike will need before another long ride is an oil change and new rear tire.
