The photostream on that one reveals a few non std features , Carbon Fibre primary cover , Not sure about the trans ? single speed or is there one .
Looks like a Honda frame , doesnt look to weigh much . and has Dunstall valve covers .

Not a Honda frame, it's says Knight.

Has anyone ever done a Commando street fighter or would the mere though of such a thing be the height of sacrilege?

( we'll blame ' google search ' )

Hobots gonna be miffed ? . Murry did a sorta job on his 71 centuries ago , being a plumber , he did a copper 6 in tube oil tank across the guts , tossed the covers , and chopped the rear frame . Nearly gave himself a nervous breakdown & a dual personality. Wasnt entirely pleased with it .to many chopper mags ?

No Dave, they don't....

Lots of us in Europe know what Flat track is, and recognise pictures of flat trackers and know of Axtel as a tuner and builder of Norton Flat Trackers, but it really is an American sport.....we, and Australia, have Speedway, professional sport on short shale tracks and 500 singles, rigid rear end, and in UK and Europe, we also have grass track...what it says really....amateur sport run on a longer temporary track in a farmers meadow, sprung rear end and gears, various capacities up to 500.

Since no one else has commented!

I think the Norton flat tracker in the first photo was built by Red Max Speedshop in the UK.

Nothing like the US flat track scene, but good fun nonetheless!
