Hey rmak, if the pipes are correct (and the sidecovers ain't lying) I think it's an "SS" which is even rarer! Nice looking bike! And now I'm off to find a concrete wall to bang my head against for selling my Norton(s)...

I can't see the pic. Are the pipes on the same side? If it's stock,an SS has pipes on both sides,whereas an S has both pipes on the same side.
There are still quite a few S models around,but the SS model is super rare,because most were converted to Roadster spec by the dealers, before they were even put on the showroom floor.

That sure as hell looks like an SS to me. SO SWEET! Nice bike man.

And now I'm off to find a concrete wall to bang my head against for selling my Norton(s)... I'm doing some concrete banging too. The selling price is not much more than I paid for my Commando in September.

I posted some pix awhile back on Rmaks ''yellow'' thread,of both S and SS Commandos,so you can compare them.

My '74 850 Roadster in Interstate disguise! Pic from '84. Frame no: 306712. Is that close to yours rmak? Great bike, and contrary to what my dirty hands indicate very reliable. Dirty hands probably from working on the SAAB 96 I had at the time.

It's a beauty, Mats! Love that Interstate tank. Mine is #309477, so it was a little further down the assembly line. Thanks for the photo.

My buddy sent over a notice that this Norton is up for sale. It's listed as an "S" model, which I understand is rare. It's a beauty. $7000, which seems like a good price. That is a beautiful looking bike and Bret, you're not that good looking
