PowerDubs, there were photos of the buckhorn bars, probably in the Seat Time forum. However, I suspect they were taken by the Ferret and went the way of Botophucket. You could try asking him very nicely ...

Edit: as I thought Lunch and ride with Kyhiker1100

On the question of finding good mechanics and the joys of owning older bikes, Norton made this important contribution on another thread:

Two CB 350 Fours (my wife's bikes) and two CB 750 Fours. A friend still owns the last 750. Wish I had all of them back today.

While attending a vintage motorcycle rally a few years ago, I was admiring a pristine Norton Commando that was for sale. To my eyes the early 70s model with the black paint and gold lettering was the most handsome British motorcycle ever made.

Sitting around the Commando in the shade of the large trees were a number of vintage bike owners. The owner of the bike suggested I buy the bike. I though a bit, and then replied. "Old motorcycles are like old girl friends. You always wonder why you gave them up, until you meet them again. The you say to yourself, NOW I REMEMBER." Everybody within earshot laughed.

Cormanus I looked but no longer have the pictures of Kyhiker in my photo file.

What? You've even deleted them from Photobucket?

Lol, well yea, that was 4 years ago. I had a limit on my photobucket acct and over 800 photos there, which was 82% of my limit. I was constantly cleaning out old stuff to make way for new stuff.
