    Nice Norton

    I stole this from one of Natchflug's ADVrider threads.I don't like the tail piece for a streettracker,but I guess it adds a classic British look....

    Hm. I don't think those rear wheel adjusters are authentic Norton ones.

    That tail/seat unit is as ugly as in my humble opinion.

    Personnally I absolutely love the owners sense of humour. Is your project going to look similar JR? Oh and Speights Porter tastes like dogs vomit..............Not recomeeded at all at all.

    This is one of "Omars Dirt Trackers" [see his U.S. website] customers XS 650 Yamahas. He offers figlass "Manx" cafe' kits for various older bikes.Personally I dont like the number board shapes but the rest is OK

    I thought it was not too bad m'self. Still not as good as their Old Dark , though. But you need to have a taste for a heavy ale, t'wouldn't suit a lager type palate at all.

    Maybe the first two spoiled the taste buds. I don't mind a Guiness or two. Hic!! Had to polish it off as the recommended use by date 7/7/05, last years Crissy present. Just opening the Pilsener now

    Pilseners a good drop,the Old Dark is a staple for me - but the Porter is a bloody shock to the taste buds,I don't think I'd go for it again.Have you checked out the rest of Flug's post and seen the yellow XS streettracker,one of the best I've seen,it even has the real deal tyres.

    I was hoping you'd see that Jack - hope you didn't spill your coffee!

    Yep I've seen it on Omars site before,quite like it but for the seat.
    My own seat looks very similar apart from the number boards.
    Still I don't think I'd be brave enough to ride that one in good old open minded NZ
