Best worst financial decision I’ve ever made.

In the first two weeks:
Carb rebuild
Front brake rebuild
Headlight harness
Plug wires
Petcock
Foot pegs
Handlebars
Carb cover
Throttle tube
Push/pull cables

All before I found an intake manifold leak.

Woohoo!

@GTPowers badass shovel! What year? Looks alot like my bro's but like 10X nicer than his lol

[motojobobo]

@bryaneidins70 you got a looker right there!!

[GTPowers]

@WhiskeySandwich don’t look too close! It’s a ‘75 FX. If we’re honest, most of these repairs aren’t crazy and some are just preferential.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@GTPowers well, most old bikes look best from about 10’ away. Especially ones people actually ride. Who wants a trailer queen anyway

@bryaneidins70 I’ll post one when I can (just had back surgery so can’t move the bike at the moment).

It’s a slight different setup to yours, I run it with a twin seat and riser bars (not the standard ones, a few inches higher), although I still have the single seat and fairing.

Thank you, Sir. I first started dreaming of Nortons as a young’un back in the day - when I first saw their print ads.

Thank you, Sir. ‘74 Roadster.

@SFMCfranky you don't happen to have a Vincent...

I've only seen one at a bike show and drooled the entire time....

[SFMCfranky]

I do not. However, SFMC brother Mark does:

@SFMCfranky absolutely outstanding and thank you very much for sharing! I knew you must know someone in the crowd that would have one…

There are bikes out there that stir the soul, and that would be one of them for me.

Much Appreciated

Edit…but very much out of my price range.
