    1966 Norton Atlas for sale/trade

    Offering this for trade or sale. Spring is coming and is a great time to have this in the road.

    Craigslist link




    Testing the waters for my 66 norton Altas, trades considered.

    Bike was purchased from none other than Jerry Woods who was kind enough to write me and include the history:

    I hope that you enjoy the Atlas and I will be glad to help.
    The bike had an interesting history. It was purchased by a man that
    had a girlfriend in the Massachusetts Berkshires, he remained friends with this nice lady for a
    very long time. He bought two Atlases for them to ride. She is
    petite and starting an Atlas just didn't work out, so they sat in
    her living room as art for decades, she is an artist. One day they
    decided they were never going to ride them and sold them to me.
    The engine uses 40W heavy duty aircraft oil (Aeroshell 80) or a 40W
    diesel rated oil.
    The primary case 20W or automatic transmission fluid.
    The transmission 75 to 90W hypoid gear oil.

    The bike was completely gone thru by Jerry himself, amal carbs were upgraded to comando model as well as front brake. Other upgrades include clubman bars and Dunstall exhaust. I had the tank painted this past summer, other than the tank the bike paint is all original and very good shape for its age, showing patina in all the right places. Chrome is in excellent shape, no pitting or rust. As mentioned above this machine was stored inside and as such is a true survivor. The bike currently sits in my living room and was ridden over the summer very caringly. I also had a friend who is an very experienced English bike mechanic go thru the entire bike and make sure it is ready to go.

    I do not need to sell so I am not interested in lowballs or tirekickers, if you arent in the area to pick up dont bother contacting. This will be a cash only deal, so scammers can take a hike before we even start.
