I recently inherited this bike from my brother. He has had it for over 3 decades and was very private about keeping his toys to himself and I could never even get him to send me a pic of it. It is a 1959 Norton Manx with a 1975 Kawasaki H2 750 triple nestled into the frame with custom exhaust. The original owner/builder was making a U turn on Mulholland on his Ducati and was hit and killed by a car shortly after completing this build. My brother bought it at the estate sale for $500. My friend bought the Ducati he was killed on and restored and flipped it. I'm new to Nortons, but not Triumphs, Kawasaki's, or Harley Sportsters. I'd like you Norton experts to view the pics and tell me what you can about the Norton parts. I'm curious as to the pods under the front of the fuel tank, are they a factory piece? Anyways, heres the pics for you to delight over, I'll add comments as you reply.
