It is an Ural Gear Up, 2WD, 2011. Where the spot light is on the side you can install the gun holder... MG42 seems to be the weapon of choice (ball bearing mounted action).

Norton is rideable... but not really startable by me: my leg is still too weak and I am waiting, not for Godot, but for the electric starter from Alton to use the bike... My arm is still screwed and will stay like this: stopping in panic mode is real hard as I've difficulties grabbing the front brake...

A thumb brake might work out for you, worth looking into if it can get you safely back on two wheels.
Nice hack by the way :)

Cause the rear brake/side wheel are cable operated and drums while the front is a Brembo caliper.... I like the idea of a thumb brake... Will look in that!
Thanks
