The yellow reflective plates are from '73 on. Also have to be a min size like 9x7" which are ugly so many run smaller plates for looks or to avoid plate being easily read by the law!! eg 7x2" plates on sports bikes.A question to my UK brethern: what determines if you get a yellow or black registration plate?
Are they both current?
I've seen silver w/ black numbers too used in the past.

I do believe you are right about that being trchoidal pumpsbpatton said:Is that a trochoidal oilpump running off the timing chest? .
Jeandr said:On this one, everything is special, the frame is an oil tank, the ride height looks to be adjustable, the frame is reduced to its simplest form. As Borat would say, "nice"

3 pumps in line , one or two for scavenge the other for feed . These pumps can be built to any of your needs . We used something similar when dry-sumping our NSU car engine for sidecar racing (forgot the name of the firm that builds them but they are still in bussiness)
The builder of that bike certainly is no fool so I cannot believe he would put such a clumsy breathersystem on that bike
btw Jean ,is it possible that bike was at Mas-du-clos a few years ago There was a very similar bike there at a track day
Well, it is one of those Liton's. Those pics of the Coyotes are some of the all time best.RennieK said:The pics at coyote seem to be older than this shot. The rear shocks are different in this side view. I'm curious as to the weight of this bike. This could be the lightest Norton around. Sure is a steep fork angle.
Then there's always those bikes Dan Gurney is making.lynxnsu said:Grandpaul never heard of FF(feet forward a la " Royce creasey " ) ?
