This is my first attempt at attaching a photo so I am not sure how it will turn out.

No it is very rarely ridden now - 1, getting too old to kick start the beast 2. it has a right foot gear change which is up for down and down for up which I now find confusing. I start it up every so often and give it a run around the block until the engine gets up to operating temperature. It is still in the same condition as it was after the rebuild. I like to sit with cigarette and beer in hand and admire it.
I rebuilt it back in the early 90s. I bought it after a fire went through it and you can see the end result. It is a 1974 850cc Roadster. As you can see there are some changes from standard ie fastback rear, What is not so noticable are the changes to the front end courtesy of Honda, yamaha, Suzuli and kawasaki. The complete twin disc front end can be removed and the original Norton front end in approximately 2 hours as nothing Norton has been modified.
Clean lookin Scott...I like it

Ok Mr. Custom.....
That looks really cool. Nice work as usual.
You should now come up with a way to mount the slip-on in the high position giving a high-pipe look rather than down low in the stock position. It would be cool to see the wheel open from both sides.
I expect a solution by the end of October.
Phil,
You won't have to wait that long.
The angle of my pipe is pretty much set by the stock mid pipe I gutted off of a stock muffler for use with my Super Trapp muffler, and personally I like the way the muffler sits.
My custom midpipe and ST muffler required the hole in the hanger bracket that the muffler strap attaches to, to be positioned about 3/4" farther back and a little higher up than the stock bracket.
I've already gone ahead and drawn up another bracket that will duplicate the stock bracket geometry, and this will allow the muffler to be mounted higher. I've also drawn up a matching passenger peg bracket for the left side and I'm also going to add a passenger peg mount to the muffler hanger bracket also to see how that will look.
I was hoping for this......
