[QUOTE="ericg, post: 105753, member: 160"] Hi Michael, please look again at the pic. The frame isn't a Featherbed, it's an A10 frame and there is no way to squeeze a Comet engine into a BSA frame unless you fit it upright and you then end up with an ugly thing or you cut out the down tubes and you hang it, Vincent fashion. That's what I'm doing . My Norvin (below) still has a standard Norton frame. I'm lucky enough to have EV3 (which is the first Egli sold to a customer by Fritz) in my garage when it's in need of some work. If you look at the Egli and the Norvin side by side you'll see that the Egli engine is far higher than the Norvin one. Actually it sits two inches higher. On the Norvin, the center of oil quill is 335mm from the ground Peter. About the riding position, I use swan neck clip-ons and rear sets and the machine is comfortable enough up to 400 miles a day which is my limit now. But remember the Featherbed has been designed as a racing frame in the first place. I love your Norvin Michael. Cheers. Eric [ATTACH type="full" alt="26507"]26507[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
