Reminds me of a time, working in Mobile, Alabama and one of the hands turned up each day in a different pickup. I had to ask, how many? To which he replied, A man can't have too many pickups, I've used the answer ref bikes ever since.Non motorcycle people always ask me why I have so many.
Ahh, because..
Followed up with, which one you like the best?
The one I'm riding at the moment....
63 Big Valve West Coast Super Rocket. The 61 on SRs had the Spitfire cam and the good Triumph 4 spring clutch. These west coast bikes were made to order for Hap Alzina. He demanded higher compression (9 to one vs 8.5 east coast and UK) and more chrome. The West coast SRs also came with cowhorn bars, which I tried to love, but just couldn't.
The front wheel and brake are from a 68 A65 Lightning. There is a small modification to either fork leg or brake plate required. Once fettled, it will lock the wheel on pavement if really squeezed.
Normal use, it's a two finger brake.
Here is the bike at a show
Fit a Suzuki gt 750 kettle front 4ls front wheel if you can find oneI dont agree. I think that I can build the BSA to be a really fun and fast bike. The only thing I am worried about is the brake. Does anyone have a twin leading shoe front that will fit on a super rocket they want to sell?
Lets see what happens
Now that is one clean Norton! Really nice! One detail; didn´t think you had a front fender at first, but it´s there, I really like how tight you´ve got it to the wheel.
