Good luck heurriche, hope it starts and runs well. I just visited your neck of the woods, what a great place, could have stopped by but flight time was not conduciv. Yeah, chroming is frustrating, in Southern CA they prep here and ship to Mexico mainly and it's quite expensive. I really like the look of an upswept pipe, I know it's not original but it looks great. Expensive to re-bend though, and seeing no heat shield has me questioning it.

I have to figure out a title, maybe the Vermont way, before I commit much further.

I did pick up some fork ear/headlight mounts and am happy with them, they still have a Roadholder decal on them. The bits I'm missing will add up but I'll take my time and figure it out. Right now I'm very close to finishing my '73 CB750K and when done, I can dedicate some time to the Norton.
 
My CB750 is nearly done, Soon to be focusing on the Norton. Honda's a '73 but with a '75 tank that's a different color from '73, but I got for for the cost of shipping, so I'm OK with that as I really like the candy apricot red. It needs sealing and a bit of touch up. If it all works out I'll lash out for side covers to match.

The lines remind me of the Nortons of the 60s, wonder where they go that idea?

I picked up two pairs of '04 Triumph T100 silencers for a price I couldn't refuse, beer money basically. I was thinking maybe I could adapt to the N15CS but I don't think that'll work out, due to the angle and the size of the tubing which is about 1 5/8". I think they'd have looked good on the bike, which I really can't afford to restore to a perfection level. So I'll sell them I guess, and fund my habit. They sure look good though! Not a huge fan of the N15CS stock silencers.
