1970 Trackmaster Norton750 Commando Desert Motocross Vintage custom buildTHIS IS ABUY IT NOWAUCTION
Built back in 1970 and modified continuously throughout that decade, his bike was built by the son of a famous western movie star from the 1940's & 50's. Constructed here in Phoenix with absolutely no caregiven tothe cost, ence no expenses were spared. Trackmaster oil-in-frame custom ordered & built for desert racing with long steering rake. Still sporting it'sbeautiful original nickel finish. Trackmaster is known for their highly sucessfulflat track frames, nd this was specifically built for MX & desert racing. Quite possibly the only desert spec Norton frame they ever built surely making it one of a kind.Also has it's custom built Trackmaster swingarm with dual shock positions.When I bought this bike from the original owner, e guesstimated that he had over $40K invested, nd these were in 1970's dollars too. So you can only imagine what it might cost to try and replicate this bike today.......and that's ifyou could find these unobtainium parts. Engine is a 1970 Norton 750 Commando motor which was balanced & blueprinted w/extensive hi-pohead & cylinder work. Norton 4 speed transmission - was totally blueprinted. Massey Ferguson points Magneto ignition. Custom built aluminum desert skid plate protects all vitals. Very rare vintage Hurst Airheart disc brakes w/stainless braided lines– front & rear(cutting edge trickfor 1970). Leo St. Martin high seat w/ new velour seat cover. Steve Simons 38mm forks & Simons aluminum triples spec'd w/custom valving & damping rods. Charles Curnutt long travel desert shocks were custom ordered and were then hand built by Charles to owner's specs. Buchanan built rear wheel w/stainless heavy duty spokes.Dynamic Machine front & rear axles. Charlie Cavallo open megaphone dual exhaust (these are a work of art). 40mm Del Orto carburetor w/ K&N filter. Charlie Cavallo custom primary housing. Custom billet aluminum magneto cover & various bits. Lightened bolts and nuts (mostly titanium & aluminum). Lightened sprockets and discs. Don Vesco plastic desert tank. Husqvarna aluminum fenders & mounting brackets (SEE NOTE BELOW). Preston Petty front # plate/tool box. All high risk bolts & nuts safety wired for racing. There's more I just can't remember. When I was loading the bike the owner started telling me about all the engine mods, ut after a while my head was spinning as it was just too much for me to absorb. Rest assured, here probably isn't another 750 vintage dirt race bike thatcan keep up with this one. So now you can tell all those other guys riding their Rickman Triumph 750 desert sleds to "EAT MY ROCKS!"The one time I fired up and rode this bike was like living through one of California's 8.5 magnitude earthquakes. It wasso stinking loud and is so ridiculously fast that it really is quite scary, nd let me assure you thatthis bikeis a real handful and is of expert level riding skill required. Without a doubt this is a man's bike, or sure. This is a loud, rash, in your face' vintage desert sled. It is beyond trick--beyond works---it's simply one of a kind and would most likely be impossible to duplicate now. Here's your chance to buy at less than 1/2 it's 1970's build cost. $17,500.00NOTE: Photos show front fender being held on with zip ties. I have a custom built aluminum mounting bracket for this set up which mounts under triples to Husky fender bracket. Very trick----I just didn't get it on for the photos. Bracket is included.
