Here we have a Genuine Dunstall 750 Commando that that received a complete restoration early this year.  I purchased this bike from the original owner who in 1981 completely disassembled it.  It remained in boxes since 81' until I rescued it in 2011.  This is an original bike that was ordered from Dunstall's 1968-1969 Catalogue.  I have the original build sheet that was provided to the new owner upon purchase.  You will also see a picture from a motorcycle magazine in the UK that featured a 69' 750 Dunstall just like this one.  Items listed in the build sheet are:    Engine 745cc1. Hand Finished and Polished Ports 1 1/4 Bore. 2. Bronze Dural Valve Guides. 3. Silchrome H 18 S Valves. 4. 10 to 1 Spun Cast Pistons. 5. Mark Three Street Camshaft.  6. Flexible Force Feed to Rockers. 7. Paired 932/01 Carburetters. 8. Gearbox Standard Commando. 4. 84 Overall    Cycle9. Norton Commando Frame10. Road Holder Forks with Twin Leading Shoe Brake and Racing Linings.  Bike currently has the upgraded Lyster Disc brakes up front. which was an option in 1969.  The TLS          brake and wheel is also included in case the buyer would like to convert it back.  11. Balanced Exhaust System. 12. Decibel Silencers. 13. Rear Mounted Footrest Kit. 14. 3 1/2 Gallon Red Tank. 15. De-luxe Dual Seat in Red. 16. G. T. Fairing in Red. 17. Red Front Mudguard. 18. Clip-on Handlebars. 19. Alloy Ballended Control Levers. 20. Hydraulic Damper. 21. Alloy Fork Top Yoke.  22. Alloy Wheel Rims. 23. Red Gaitors Front and Rear. 24. Chromium Plated Chain Guard.  In May of 1981 The owner took several pictures of this bike as he was disassembling and made several notes.  The pictures of the teardown are dated with a red stamp from Kodak. You will also see on page 45 of the 69' Dunstall Catalogue the option to purchase your own build.  I also have pictures of the internals showing the engine internals in case anyone would like to see them prior to bidding.  Now to the restoration. First I want to say that corners were not cut during this EXTENSIVE AND ALSO EXPENSIVE restoration.  These early frames had a weak spot where the top frame meets the neck.  They would crack and the factory had a recall on them.  This frame was not one of the bikes that received the upgrade so I had a professional welder do this.  Pictures of the upgrade are also available (before and after).  I replaced the red plastic brake lines for more modern braided lines.  Plastic red lines are also included.  Also included is the original early Dunstall Decibel 2-2 exhaust system. These are very rare and earlier than the famous 2-1-2 system.  They were originally black so I had the mufflers ceramic coated.  The pipes need new nuts and collars soldered back on.  They are are in pristine condition.  The seat covers still wears the original leather on top.  I had my upholstery guy remake a new cover using the original top side leather.  all sides and red bead are new.
