1969 Norton Commando Fastback - The 1969 Norton Commando came in one additional model for 1969, its second model year in production. The 1968 Norton Commando was available in one model only, and so was simply called 'Norton Commando', even though it had what was to become known as 'Fastback'-styling. But, once new models were introduced for the 1969 season, it became necessary to differentiate the various Commandos. So, the standard model became known as the Norton Commando Fastback, and it was joined by the new model, the Model S (Street Scrambler) with high pipes. Neither had the trademark tail section of the Fastback.
The Norton Commando Fastback 1969 Model was styled to appeal to the American street scrambler craze (exploited masterfully by Honda) with high pipes, both running high along the left side. The S also had slimline forks & smaller side covers. The engine had its ignition points mounted for the first time on the timing cover, driven off the end of the camshaft. This meant a new location had to be found for the tachometer (rev counter) drive.
