[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 60569, member: 433"] Hello to all the Vincenteers around the world. My brother is looking to built a 500 Norvin with all essential parts already there for years. The main holdup was that however we placed the engine in a type 99 frame it never looked good to our eyes. so what is needed is drastic surgery like spreading the down tubes at the front to drop the engine between the frame rails. In almost any picture the engine is tilted backwards for the exhaust to clear the down tubes, if you put the engine where it should, the cylinder is not parallel with the down tubes and also looked odd to my eye. I know I am only talking about esthetic reasons, but isn't this the main reason why you built a special? when you click on the link you will find a picture from a Norvin in a magazine built by John Hardon for my liking the probably best looking Norvin by the way the engine fits the frame. Now I want to ask for your help if anybody if you out there has more pictures of this very special motorcycle. Glad to receive anything that helps to see the more details. Here is the link: [URL]https://www.facebook.com/EgliVincentMotorcycles/photos/a.461413777282140.1073741859.439034106186774/502044386552412/?type=3&theater[/URL] kind regards Bernd [/QUOTE]
