A 1974 Norton 850 SC Commando with 13,669 original miles.
A series of tasteful custom features adore this wonderful street bike. They include the following; Competition Fairing, Full instrumentation Package, Wickedly Beautiful Black Paint, Corbin Gun Fighter Seat, Carry On Tool Kit, Light Weight Front Fender, Back Dated Vented Front Drum Brake,
Custom Oil Lines, Twin Oil Coolers and the incredibly Rare Drouin Super Charger with Fuel Injection. The Drouin unit, Slide Throttle Fuel Injection unit and the Instrument Package were after market item that could have been purchased in the 1970's, through the Norton dealer.
The Drouin Super Charger and the Slide Throttle Fuel Injection unit are fully operational and produces amazing and quick 100 HP. The Fuel Injected Slide Throttle system was the very last iteration of the Drouin Super Charged series intake systems, therefore, being the most advanced and powerful. Upon riding this custom Norton there is sense of amazement in the additional torque and power that comes from the bike.
It runs properly and smoothly. The shifting in precise and positive. The brakes are quite ample in bringing this bike to a halt. The tire have some age on them, but are quite usable.
The fuel tank interior has been cleaned and sealed. Simple open the twin fuel pit birds to allow fuel to siphon to the fuel Infection unit, turn the key, give it a health twist of the duel activated throttle and she fires up on the second pump with a deep drum like sound and a faint whine of the Super Charger. Hang on and simply smile! She shuts down in standard fashion, with a flip of the key and twisting the fuel pit birds off. The rear fender has some small dimples and a little discoloring. There is some
very minor pitting on the wheels, a 1/8" hole that had been drilled through the front, between the forks.
Otherwise, this Norton 850 SC was shown recently at the prestigious " Riding Into History" Motorcycle show in May and was judged as a first runner up in the all Norton class, next to a very well known, twin engine Bonneville Norton. A spare Super Charger Drive Belt is included with the sale of the Norton, as well as an original Drouin Super Charger Manual.
