Featherbed race bike

A customer sent me a photo of this great looking racer. Michael Panayi's featherbed from down under. "I currently have 2 race engines (750 & 920) that have your ... which have been winning plenty of races."


Its really important to reduce the reciprocating weight in these solid frames so you can see the landscape clearly without everything blurring out.

I wonder what kind of gas tank/seat/oil tank that is - anyone know?

What a beauty!

There is just something about hot Featherbeds, they look so good in race trim, I have always had a love of them since taking my mates hot 750 Commando engine Featherbed all them years ago (just over 40 years ago now) that how got my love of Nortons and 2 weeks later I brought my new 850 Commando at the right age of 17 and converted it into my Featherbed frame a few years later, I still own it to this day which will be coming up to 40 years of ownership in June.
That tank just don't look right sitting on top of the frame, most tanks sit over the frame, but it still looks great and it's winning races.
