Norvins

[Mike 40M]

Think I'll keep em as two bikes, one for road and one for track.

One of the better looking ones I've seen, I'm surprised the standard BSA kick start lever has enough length to kick the twin over. Still I suppose it's no different to a pre war twin.

In period 3 racing here in Aussie (that is bikes from 1946 to 1962) you can run some types of delorto carb's but no accelerator pumps allowed. Brian I think they are for a balance pipe of some sort. I've only installed one of those top end kits on a Comet, so I blanked the fitting off with a suitable bung. The alloy tank looks good, I should have put one on the racer.......................Cheers..........Greg.

Bill Forbes always ran a Balance pipe

From the Hampshire Hoo Haw, 1982. I don't know who owned it. Maybe it isn't a Norton frame?

I have a picture of the Norvin in post 117 with the owner, from the late 70's but the picture drag and drop work around seems to have gone south on me. I think his first name was Fred, and I apologize for not remembering more.

How odd, these pictures worked. I'll let Davidd or someone with a better memory fill in the details

The originals did not want to load on the forum. I converted them to GIF's and they were fine.
