very nice guy and a really killer Norton, especially in person.
super gorgeous with that blue.

They’ll be auctioned later this month….

I have yet to get it out on a track and thrash it seriously, but it will hold it’s own anywhere except flat out on a straight open road.

The front fender was a compromise, as a classic Norton stainless fender was going to be a real bodge-up to install.

I’m on to my own design on the swingarm and rising rate linkage now, but have been way to busy to compare them side-by side.

But does it have to have dinky winky likkle mirrors ? That seat & no clip ons ? Have to say the exhaust pipes & silencers are spot on .
