Quite clever!! I like how the CoG is installed first - very important!!

Nortons have been our family motorcycle marque since the '60's. My uncle was the local dealer for many years, and we still have the last 1974 850 Commando that he received, still in the crate. My dad, my uncles, and I all still ride ours.

Thanks for sharing this!! - SR
