Meant to say, no Norton stuff in my version

malcward

My ideas are not exactly like what NVT had in mind ,yes I will give you a wants list , thanks for your help , at least I am closer nowadays

malcward

Thanks for the offer, let me know how much, looks like project p92 might get going

malcward

Thanks again Midgie, the exhaust won't be a problem ,as it will be tilted forward ,so will have to make the whole exhaust,also it's the standard stroke , when I find a crank lol

malcward

Thanks Midgie , would it work okay for a 545cc motor ? , The guides are iron and are pretty short not providing into the ports , good or bad ?

malcward

I have just aquired this cylinder head, the inlet port measures 36mm and the exhaust measures 1 5/8 ,is it a big bore CCM head ?
Cheers Malc

Just wondering about peoples thoughts on the specs for the ideal B50 ?.

Here are a few suggestions that I have come up with.

Disk brake front end ? T140.
Fury frame ?
Isolastics ?
Disc braked rear?

What do you think ? any more suggestions ?

Its hard to know exactly which guard to order ,without being able to compare guards,
Plus it would be nice to have the mounts on them.

Thanks for the link though

Popped some temporary wheels in , [still looking for the correct rear hub and waiting for parts for the front wheel].
Needed to check frame / crankcase bolt alignment, so dropped the crankcases in, couldn't resist fitting the barrels , head and petrol tank.

The retouched picture is on page 60 of the Incomplete Guide.

The picture was from a article by Stephen Mettam in Motorcycle Classics Feb 97

Best thing to do with the fuel line is ,
place it in really hot water until it becomes pliable ,then shape it to fit.

Cheers

Sorry Rickard

I should of said for the proposed 72 advertising,
they did use the picture but , retouched it so the white areas on the tank and side panels were purple.

Great picture Chris.
Does anyone have a copy of the magazine ?.

Managed to get the front end together.

A quick question ,
has anyone ever come across handle bar switches with spade connectors instead of bullet connectors, my parts book shows spade ones.
