Found this Norton on ebay. It looks mean!

yep. Thats the inspiration for my 72 commando build.
My Commando 750 will look EXACTLY like that. I have the MAnx tank coming!!
 
Loved it at first ... but the more I look at it the less balanced the thing looks... the pipes, clubmans, no speedo... just out of balance IMHO
 
Interesting bike, the builder was definitely not a purist. More hot rod than cafe. Oil cooler, magneto ignition, chopper oil tank and those wild upswept megaphones. That thing's got personality.

I'm with ya on that one. It does look kind of odd. It definitely needs a seat upholstery job to look decent though. Not all the aluminum is polished either. Why not go all the way?
