1968 Norton Atlas Pictures

Probably one of the last Norton Atlas to be built. Several different details to other bikes; the blue tank and toolbox lid was the original colour. The wiring harness is different to earlier Atlas, note the position of the rectifier. The clutch cable was the same as a commando. Anyone have anything similar?
I have a very similar Atlas. U.S. titled as a 1969 with side reflectors and high handlebars
in fully restored condition with white piping around the top of naughahide seat.
Originally was painted candy apple green. I welded on a triumph kickstand with a considerable rake. Added front fork Norton lettere engraved leather tool bag, leather side bags and medium square tube sissy bar with brackets.
Really looks like a low rider heavy.
Front fork lowers are inside the uppers on mine. The only original part I am missing is the machined two face washer located on the bottom of the bike. Also use Jefferson nickel
as tachometer drive press fit seal.
