When was it last run? Does it turn over? It looks very nicely set up to me, and has all the makings of a really fun track day bike. I'd be very tempted to put fresh oil, belts, brake fluid, and tires on it and go put a big smile on your face. You'll know exactly what you want to do to it after you start riding it. |

Last ran in 1990 or 91. I haven't tried to turn it over yet......I have lubed up the top end. About ready to change the oil and filter...see what that looks like. If good, I will throw some fresh oil in and turn it. |

Hi Cal... Your "laundry" list would fill all the top slots of my wish list if I were to ever build a TT/F1. I agree with pantah good, get everything sorted and freshened up then go for a ride. Regards... Flattop P.S. How about a photo of the rear brake set-up? |

That's almost the twin to my old F1. All the same basic equipment. Really fun to ride. If it has the NCR7 s it will feel a bit flat until about 4500 and then pull well to10k. Makes a beautiful noise! |

Here is a shot of the rear brake and a motor pic...... ps that brown shag carpet on the garage floor is to get me in the mood to work on my Norton......

That is one sturdy looking battery holder! Compare that with the one on my old Harris. Brown shag - groovy! Lets hear more about your Norton. Actually, last time I talked to Lou, he said we should probably have a separate Norton area on this forum. I suspect he might have just been humoring me though...

You are right, that battery box looks over built. I love the NCR clutch case on your bike...super neat. Norton......here ya go 70 Fastback....mildly modified....High compression head, Norris cam, Flat slides, Trispark. Norton disc brake front end, vintage Akronts......

Beautiful!! I'm having trouble spotting anything that needs work though, unlike my '72 Combat Roadster. Can I borrow that shag rug when you're all done?
