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.
