question...
We were asked to replicate a frame . which we have done in the 4 pics below.
What motorcycle brand and model is it for?
Only 2 answers per person, if no one gets the make and model we will declare the winner the...
We used to make the slim line Norton frame as it is the best for a triton build. However the slim line has a reputation of "not all are created equal." Put two original slim lines side by side, and start measuring certain parts and the chances are the two will not be exactly the same.
This...
although we start our manx and norley frames at the headstock, the shape of the tube on both frames makes it easier to then end at the headstock, this always caused probs getting the notching correct on the upper frame tube to headstock.
untill someone noticed that the roller on the belt sander...

we get asked quite often , "Is a Triton a Triton only when it is in a Norton Manx frame or any Norton frame"
A triton is a triumph engine in any norton frame. The manx frame is lighter than the old featherbeds so there is a slight performance gain.

the problem arises with getting our frames on the road over there.
so after talks with Alan Bernard of Santiago choppers. our...

well finally she has been fired up. and prodly reads 114 decibells within the garage of the owner.
the mapping needs a little more work...
tank is a standaed fitment ali sprint tank for a featherbed frame. seat unit is from tony dunall. the tank is unpolished as it will be painted black.
we made up the 2 into 1 system just for testing performance and ground clearance
this one is taking some time.:D
mainly because we are not doing it as a one off. but with the intention of supplying it as a frame kit.
this one shows a rigid mount engine.
sprocket fitted to the engine instead of the belt means that. with the oval swingarm in these pics. it will take a 130...
our tab 350 frames have broken lap records at most of the uk circuits.
however the cost of shipping makes our frames prohibitive to the states,canada etc.
but the 350 does benifit from having the weight 2" further forward. this is achived by having a 2" longer than stock swingarm.
however our...
