There's a write up on this in the March/April issue of Motorcycle Classics. A bunch of work went into this and figured it may warrant a thread.

         I have always thought that the Norton "Featherbed" frame, with a Vincent engine, was a fine matchup. Here's one I haven't seen before, for your viewing pleasure.

         

         

         

          And, here's where I found it!

          Sam, This is what I want, with the bike to go with it, of course.


                       


 It could be a belated Birthday Present! ;D :D ::)  Couldn't It? ??? ;D

       The Norvin that they show, looks to be the same one I found, isn't it?  ??? 8)

You guys are killing me here!! I've had that site saved for a while but since I didn't will Publishers Clearing house, again, it'll have to wait.  :'(

I like that Harleyton. The Vincent mill is sexy though!

I find me asking myself, why someone would go to that much effort to put that in that frame, to be able to do 70mph...if they are lucky. ???

 harley davidson of Winnipeg, I think is who ran a fairinged Hopped up 45, that did actualtun 95 or 100mph.. now that was a coool bike..
