That's stunning mate, congrats on the rebuild...that swingarm on the front is an interesting concept Thinking

I got a soft spot for classic bikes like that.

Thanks guys, i shall give it a go.

The motor was rebuilt by Norman White and still needs a lot of miles on it to loosen up Sad

The damping also needs a bit of fettling but otherwise its a real blast to ride.

More pics later hope

Nice bike, norton. I am also pleased to hear that you are riding it, unlike others who have one to: look at/brag about/go up in value.

ill admit my dads is wasted, he doesnt ride it much as hes got a dodgy leg, and finds it hard to kick over, he uses the bandit mostly.

Think ill be trying to get insurance next summer and have a decent ride of it.

It looks good, and you will enjoy the ride i hope. Different pace of riding on them.

Just got an XBR500 for my wife, looking to restrict it, but quite fun as well.
