When you been messing with Nuts, bolts and wheels for 50 years and somebody "makes" you adopt a computer and its systems can be an extreme change of boundaries.. If you are fortunate to have wife/partner, relatives, friends or an understanding soul to help you and join the dots, it aint that fuking simple as a 1940's engine...
Took me 2 years to work out how to "post" a photo..... But i can weld shite together when required.. We're all different!!!
 
Problem is "we"aint interested...thats what makes it a issue.. I had to learn ...well only enough!
As you say welding etc is simple....its when you carnt see whats happening...I still find adding pictures a problem...ask a 12 year old....Simple!

Here you go Richard. I know its not in your drive way back home....but shortly before it was shipped from Colorado

Matt / Colorado Norton Works

www.coloradonortonworks.com
 
CNW's right out the box are all show stoppers for boy s and girls jaw dropping appreciation. LIkely a few $1000 of CNW price is to cover the labor of the shiner. Only Commando I've seen even more mirror shiny Every Where is Greg Fuath's essentially all alloy version. Would like to know how the OIF plumbing is done.
 
nice indeed,very nice
please let us know how much oil you had left in the spine after a 2 hour run at 4500rpm(those are not crazy targets ,are they)
i converted back to an oiltank after 3 years of trying to keep the oil in
or is your (bikes) spine enlarged and/or is there an extension under the tail?
if so how big is it ,not just the oil compartiment but all of it,i stopped at 3.5l and it kept spitting oil out
please keep us informed
 
That is just a beautiful piece of machinery... I wish I could put words to my feelings when I look at the bikes that Matt builds. Words just don't do these motorcycles justice...
 
Matt and his team are true artists. All the years of hard work really show thru. They don't get any better.
 
Beautiful job. :D
Richard, you must be very pleased. Will your bike be making an appearance at any NOC events......such as Devon at the end of July?
