This How to Restore Norton Commando manual is aimed at owners and enthusiasts of the legendary Norton Commando, and covers all areas of restoration from the sourcing of the bike to its completion as a fully restored machine. Starting with advice on the different models, spares availability and where best to source a bike to restore, the book then covers the complete dismantling and restoration of the bike. Describing the engine, frame, gearbox, wheels, suspension and forks, brakes, ancillaries, bodywork, and electrics, the text is illustrated with hundreds of clear colour photos. What really sets this manual apart is the style in which it is written: not as some dull and distant workshop manual but in a friendly, humorous manner by an enthusiast of many years who is able to involve and entertain the reader, as well as providing a thorough and detailed restoration guide. This is the fourth restoration guide from an author whose previous works have been a massive hit with mechanics, enthusiasts and restorers throughout the world.

How to Restore Norton Commando (Enthusiast’s Restoration Manual)

After this I fully removed the seat hinge from above the left hand rear shock absorber and at the same time I was beginning to appreciate just how big the air box on an 850 MKIII really is. I think that the air box was introduced to enable the bike to pass much more stringent environmental legislation in the USA. The air box was there both to help reduce pollution in the exhaust fumes, and to reduce air intake noise from the carburettors – hence its considerable size. I also removed the grab rail at this point, which is just clamped to the rear frame loop by metal brackets

After this I removed the bracket that holds the twin ignition coils together with the condensers and ballast resistor mounted between them (not visible in the photos – see Chapter 32 for more info). However, these are only required for contact breaker ignition and so would be removed with the fitting of electronic ignition. See photos 5.10 and 5.11. The condensers ensure that the points don’t burn out and the ballast resistor ensures that enough current still goes to the coils when the electric starter is engaged, taking most of the available current.

Although the heads were accessible there wasn’t room between them and the back of the carbs to get the ‘L’ shaped Allen key into the heads on the middle two screws. After some research I discovered that some manuals recommend that you cut down an Allen key so it can get in. However, after much fiddling and using an Allen key with a ball end on the long side, I was able to just get enough purchase on the Allen screws to loosen them – fortunately they weren’t too tight. Having also pulled off the two carb balancing pipes that run into the air box, the carbs were free. See photo 7.2 of the first carb removed and photo 7.3 of both removed. Not only had it been difficult to remove the carbs but I now realised that I was unable to remove them from the bike as the throttle and choke cables ran through and round the top engine mounting in such a way that they could not be removed without dismantling the head steady first.

Aimed at owners and enthusiasts of the legendary Norton Commando, and covers all areas of restoration from the sourcing of the bike to its completion as a fully restored machine.

I’m very glad to say by the time Norton came to make the MKIII they finally added through bolts from the top of the barrels down into the crankcases so avoiding the possibility of the barrels fracturing around the bottoms and parting company with the crankcases. (Remember that this is exactly what happened to my friend Alan’s Combat!). This means that on a MKIII there are a combination of cylinder base nuts and four through bolts that have Allen heads. See photo 12.15 of the through bolts and bottom nuts. Note that I used a special thin spanner to undo the cylinder base nuts.

At this point I should mention Robert M Pirsig and his legendary book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I’m sure that many of you will have heard of this book, and if you haven’t done so, then I’d definitely recommend reading it (or at least the first half as later on there’s some pretty impenetrable philosophy in the second half!). One of the main things I took from when I read it, many years ago, and that still holds true today, is his mantra on having to take something apart you’ve just assembled because it doesn’t work properly.

He says that you need to look on these events not as a nuisance but as an opportunity to learn more about how that part works, as by taking it all apart and rebuilding it again, you’ll learn so much more about it, and understand it more completely, and you’ll complete the work in half the time it took you originally as you’re now familiar with it.

Before fitting the tank I fitted the seat back on. When I had bought the bike, the seat was loose and wouldn’t shut properly. I realised that this was down to the plastic hinge not having been fitted properly. If you look at photo 37.6 you can see the correct order of assembly. Basically the plastic hinge is sandwiched on both sides with metal plates. The two plates you can see resting on the bottom of the seat will go either side of the plastic hinge and then bolt onto the frame. After this there’s a small black rubber cover that clips over the top of the hinge and it’s job done.

With the tank mounted, I attached the two (very expensive!) stainless fuel hoses to the taps.

The bike was now finished! Or, rather, assembly was finished. There was still a lot of sorting and fettling to be done.
