I can't blame you

Looks like a fun project. Look forward to seeing your progress!

Thanks two-smoke! I always wanted one too...ale and eBay was the catalyst. I am moving from Atlanta GA and New Jersey....last thing I needed was to spend cash on a project. Good thing the wife has no clue!

Von Beautiful examples! Those are going in the file! I already have a bobber and did a chop so that won't make the file. This was very helpful! I LOVE the exposed belt drive!

Swan Beautiful bike. I can see why you miss it! Thanks for the advice; invaluable insights. The previous owner knows nothing about the engine except that is rotates free. I haven't broke my cherry on engines yet and not sure I am ready for a Norton. I have a "mule" triumph engine that I plan...

Great idea. I will most likely start collecting bikes that took different approaches and then start hunting different inspirational parts once I settle on a direction. However, one part can spark a direction as well. I gotta say I love the planning stage. Maybe folks could poste their favorite...

Howdy: I thought I would kick off my build thread for my 71 Norton Cafe project. I just bought a baseket case off of eBay and is beign delivered to my house as I type. I am planning on spending about 18-24 months on the build so this will probably be a slower thread than the others I have seen...

Thanks Clutch!

Nice eye on the cobra. It is a kit car I finished up last year...

I have the same questions as you! LOL Seriously, I won't address the short comings and issues until I decide on the direction. Not married to any particular part (eg like the tank, etc) until the vision comes together.

Thanks guys! NJedgexj, hopefully we run into eachother one day.

Oh and I have a 1982 Suzuki GS1100E that is on loan to my buddy in Seattle for a while.

And here are pics of the Triumph and the Harley (which I sold):
