There are quite a few replica featherbed makers. I've used those made by Dave Degens of Dresda Autos and would do so again without hesitation.A good frame maker will use material that is stronger and lighter than original. There are different opinions on this, Dresda use T45.These guys also have a good reputation: http://www.manxnorton.co.nz/As to what it would do to the value, if you're talking about an original Manx in collectable condition, it will devalue it. For a Triton etc, it will add value I believe.The issue is that a new frame comes with no papers, or more specifically no real identity, so getting it registered for road use requires some thought.
