You are overthinking this. Treat all negative wires as power and all positive wires as ground. The frame can be used as part of the ground.

Wiring positive ground is no different than negative ground. Just make sure you have a good ground from the engine and the frame back to the battery, specially if it is a Norton Commando.

Your owner's manual should list what is required to be checked and adjusted. Based on what Brian P wrote I would consider checking the valves yourself as it will cost only your time and if it needs adjustment then look for a professional.

or get a better camera like the SJ400 for less money?

If I get it rebuilt in time I could ride my '69 650 Norton.

The idle screw and the idle jet adjustment will have very little affect on the overall running of the bike as they only control approx the first 1/8 of throttle opening.

Taking the Cheecheemaun to Manitoulin is slower and more expensive than riding through Sudbury but is a great, fun experience.

What exactly does "yield the whole roadway" mean?

Common handlebar diameters are 7/8" and 1". Yours is likely 7/8" dia. just check the length and you should be good to go

It goes back to the days when reliability was a big selling point and the fact that bikes would actually finish a race was a big deal and a huge selling point. A bike that was not finicky and would start easily was important and gave an advantage at the start.

With thinking like you guys we would still be riding our bikes behind a man walking with a red flag!!!

It was really really old, honest!:)

If it is clean and runs good that is a nice deal. The hydraulic brake, if a Norton item would be from a later year but a worthwhile upgrade.

1950 series C Vincent. Yeah I'm old :)
