The Norleyframe was originally made to take an Evo Sporty motor and running gear, mine had a modified gearbox mount to fit the old Ironhead. It wouldve been much easier to use a Evo motor, they're lighter and more powerful afterall, with spares and go faster parts much more common. I chose to use an ironhead because it looks better to me, more 'mechanical' and it suites the style of a cafe racer. The ironhead is a heavy lump for sure, but phase two of this build (when its running ok and bebugged) will be to make it as light as possible, so one idea is to make a pair of alloy barrels from billet.. its a long term project ... keeps me busy.
