[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 60620, member: 433"] Bill I like the look of this bike very much, now imagine there are the front gusset plated for the original front stands and magneto cowl fitted. this would fill the slightly large space between the front wheel /mudgard and engine . PERFECT !!! Don't get me wrong the bike in the picture is stunning as it is ! I think we are quite capable to make all the necessary alterations to the frame, it would just be nice to find some close up pictures of the cut down down tubes and how the head bracket are connected to the frame. Also the Norton frame was a bit weak round the steering head, that is why they made this gusset plate round the lower headstock and down tubes. By cutting these off I would like to see how the Norvin builder managed to regain the lost strength. On the Hardon pic you can see the the necessary connection between upper headstock and front frame brace and engine top which usually is just a single sheet metal plate was replaced by a very sturdy steel tube. This reaches from top of the headstock to the rear cross brace of the top frame rails and eliminates for front to aft movement (flexing) of the headstock. What I cannot see on the picture is if there is kind of a boxing done to the headstock to regain strength against twisting sideways. I hope you can catch my meaning my English is not so good as to explain exactly. Hope somebody may be able to find some of those pictures Bernd [/QUOTE]
