I don't know about 6 but that black rattle can finish better look much better in person.

that whacky cam sensor connector is on rock away from breaking.

And evidentially 36% didn't included a metal fuel pump elbow!

and does that look like only one O2 sensor?
 
Headlight brackets (I'm not sure as I'm comparing to my sport which has RSU not USD's)
Angled and lower mounted oil-cooler
No Rocker breather (again, that's as compared to mine)
 
So far I see..
Two mounting tabs per side on the oil cooler. Two top, two bottom.

The headlight mount is the same as my dominator and I’m assuming the same as the cafe racer SG version with clip ons.
But does away with the cast aluminum mount as what’s on my SF.

The top and bottom yolks are the same as my Domi.

The fuel tank mounting has what appears to be large washers / pucks.

The lower fork leg looks cast / forged and tumbled and not billlet like on both of my bikes.

The clutch and brake controls use remote reservoirs.

I noticed that cam sensor and fuel fitting also.

I didn’t notice the O2 until you mentioned it.

Nice catch on the oil cooler bracket top & bottom, this is a good fix. The other which is not a fix but just a adjustment of the specifications ( in other words the truth ) 15 Liters gas tank ! 3.96 US gallons which is what it was all along (for the plastic tank) not 4.5 USG during SG era .! So when I get to the gas station and put 3.47 USG in , I only have just under .5 USG left . This is now veriified real specifications. I think I see the rubber pucks your seeing , but I can't make out the rubber raincoat under there either.

There are two O2 sensors . You can see them in the website pictures. My 4 cylinder Kawasaki just has one O2 sensor in the collector just before the cat box.
 
If you look at the top plate that mounts the speedo etc, the button is moved up between the guages more, the two "mad in blah blah" plates are gone and the space between the bottom of the guage and the 2 fastening bolts (to the top yoke) is greatly reduced.

I spotted rose jointed shifter linkage.
Modified frame for oil cooler mounting.
Smaller oil cooler ie less rows.
Different tank front bolts.
Different clock mount.
There's something about the yokes that I cant put my finger on....need to compare to whats in the workshop.
Different starter wire routing.
On the video I watched, I wasnt sure about the bottom of the forks tbh.
Stuart Garner era Norton font used on tank and seat.
Cant see the difference on the cam sensor that you guys mention.... just looks like the cable is routed slightly different to me.
 
Sometimes you accept you can't keep the water out completely so you just let it dry out rather than marinating under a boot. Who knows. Still surprised there isn't some better weather protection over that cam sensor considering the location. The boot over the connector is loosely fitted so water can run down into it so the connector pins/wires can corrode from the back.
 
Most manufacturers put boots on their standard gear linkage joints.
The boot is merely a dust/splash cover. The wires have silicone grommets, and the plug has a silicone seal too.

As an "old" Norton owner, can someone enlighten me as to what is "special" about the OP photos?
Why the clamour to spot differences?
Just wondering.
Cheers

BTW - I still can't see Wally there!
 
Different component = improved component = potential to add said improvement to our SG 961‘s. Simples!

Plus, we have been starved of information for so long the revealing of even the smallest of details sends us all into hyperventilation :oops:!

I'm going to claim the credit for the rose jointed shift linkage! When I took my bike in for them to examine I had my anti-fracture rose jointed linkage fitted!

& I donated my broken linkage as physical evidence to the quality/design team , along with pictures of my broken balance shaft, clutch springs, decat pipe, &

The yolks are dominator or cafe racer.
