[QUOTE="jim burgess, post: 28168, member: 1978"] I finished my Norvin 2 years ago, road going wideline frame with an unchopped rapide engine. It will all fit but... you will need to file a slight (half inch radius) curve out of the front of the left hand rear frame gusset to clear the swinging fork mount on the back of the primary side. IF, I were to do this agian, I would reccomend buying am alloy fuel tank with an integral oil tank. I made a centrally mounted stainless oil tank that lives between the rear frame rails, it needed a cut out to allow air into the rear head bell mouth, two front heads... This work alone nearly equated to all the work on the rest of the bike. IF, you were to commission a special Norton frame new, then I would seriously consider making it oil in frame in a similar way the Rickman Brothers did. But, IF I were to consider such a thing, then I would ditch the Norvin idea all together and build somthing out of flat sheet alloy along the lines of the Hagon racers, which I understood were still being made ijn the 80's. Whichever I would seriously consider using modern forks and twin disc front brakes. Unity Equipe can supply you with engine plates, it really will all fit, just... Have fun keep us all posted. Best of luck. Jim [/QUOTE]
