TOPIC:

Going to start another project, need the space, and the money to pay for it, so the bike is for sale or trade. No idea what to ask for it, or what it's worth.
I'm thinking of building another Brit bike cafe racer. Pic is of a NorBSA I built a few years ago - featherbed frame, Betor forks, Dresda swingarm, 4ls brake, Akront rims, Manx replica tank and seat, alloy central oil tank. Engine was an internally lightened/polished/ported BSA 500 with Hunt magneto and factory Clubman cam. Shouldn't have sold it. Shouldn't sell the GPz either, but....

theres a bike that resembles that norton here in duluth except the bodywork is polished aluminium and it has disk brakes.

Friends are telling me I'm nuts to sell it, my wife doesn't want me to sell it, and, I was out for a really nice ride tonight, so, yes I'm keeping it. I've been joking I'll have to sell a kidney or some other organ to finance a Norton cafe racer project.

Glad yopu changed your mind, i wish i never sold my 81. It's like the one that got away...and i'll never find another one with working EFI

Nice looking ride Fossil. Is that front rim from a XS650?

tnutz, I've let too many get away, including a couple of cars I wish I could kept.

riverroad, thanks. The rims are Akront shouldered alloy rims, pretty much the same as Borrani. They're aftermarket aned were used a lot in road racing and flattrack. The brake is a Suzuki four leading shoe lump off a Water Buffalo
