Slightly, you're right. However, it sure makes it run better and using a larger intake manifold will restore much of the otherwise lost top-end.A single Mikuni? That's blasphemy!
I do have a pair of Keihin Flat Slided FCR 35mm Dual Carbs to go on it this winter along with adjustable front fork inserts and a set of Ikon shocks to round everything out. Absolutely have to be careful or one can spend a ton on these things, when - for me at least - they are best experienced in a state that is fairly close to the original. One of the reasons I've got two.

I attended the INOA rally last month in Buena Vista, VA. Two of us rode our Commandos from NE Massachusetts. Just over 2,000 miles and no issues. Actually found riding the Norton with a hard Corbin seat to be a lot more comfortable than the God-awful sadistic torture device that is the stock seat on my 2016 RT.

I'm impressed. Sounds to me like Ya'll had a nice long ride on Nortons.
Is this a Norton Ranger or P-11? Can't tell if this is a twin or single. Cool bike either way.
Actually, neither. It is a P11A. 750 twin motor as in all the P11 series. It is sporting early style hi-pipes like a P11. These Norton/Matchless hybrids can be quite confusing as there were no less than 4 variants in the 18 months of production!

I gotta friend who owns several of the variations of the Ranger/P-11. I think Matchless was a part of that motorcycle group at the time and they had their own variation of that machine and were badged accordendly. Their history was a part of being desert style off road road race bikes. Pretty neat stuff back in the day.

Missing Pipe
No left-side exhaust pipe is visible, as it should be on a twin, so it's probably a single.

Gorgeous bikes!
You piqued my curiosity about Norton since I had heard that they are back in production. The new bikes look very appealing also! I hope that the company can find enough buyers and grow their market share as Triumph did when they were revived.
