Nice tractor. Couldn't you have found an angle where that bike wasn't in the way?






:)
 
You really have to wonder what these things have been through in all the years. Nice job bringing it back. Norton lives again.
 
Excellent! fine example, well done mate, just a kickstart rubber, grab rail and head light alignment and it will be perfect :D

Very nice job! I've restored Guzzi's and understand the amount of work that is involved. Congratulations on a job well done.
 
Thanks for the compliments. I bought the bike in the middle of July of this year. I'm retired so I was able to spend a lot of time dedicated to this referb. I didn't track any of the hours and gave up tracking the $$. The recent thread here about the cost of restoring a motorcycle was very accurate (in some cases) to what I spent on this project. The fuel tank is original paint, I painted the side covers and applied the decals. I have to put on the grab rail, the strap that goes over the seat and I"m waiting for the foot peg rubbers to arrive. I'm excited about getting it on the road within the next few days, weather permitting. Thanks again for all the help on this forum, it sure made this project a lot easier .

Very nice job,I'm in the middle of a similar project.Funny thing is that your bike and mine looked like twins for the "before" pics.....Skip
 
Great looking bike, thanks for sharing. Enjoy your retirement and RIDE THE WHEELS OFF IT!!! :mrgreen:
 
Georgeous! I have one right now that looks like the first photo. Hope it looks as good as your second photo when I'm done.
 
Beautiful bike! Now begins the sorting out process. Took me about 6 months after the last bolt was tightened to get my total restoration dialed in to where I was really happy with it.
