1969 and 1970 S.

In the shed with the top end apart for Jim's exhaust thread repair.

The pistons and bores are incredibly free of any scoring, so here's hoping that I can merely re-ring the old girl. Once the pieces are clean, a quick feeler gauge check will prove that out. What really sucks is that the good Spring riding weather is just starting to come on strong.

Here's my first complete Norton, picked it up last weekend off of Craigslist. I just resumed work on the one I'm building from parts (I started a thread on it a couple of years ago).

That's beautiful Piero.

Really, really nice job.

Especially for an Italian...

Why?
Italians do it better!
But it would be much better if we stopped with nationalities and we consider only all Europeans!

Time I got the old girl fired up again. The K2FC magneto was rebuilt and only did a few miles but that was then, this is now. What's the best battery-less self-generating ignition these days? Anything electronic or do they all need a battery?

Great bike !!

With regard to the ignition, try www.electrexworld.co.uk

They do a lighting/ignition , and just ignition kit. Look up stator kits on their site STK-102D and STK 012.
I use one of their ignition kits on a BSA Victor, it all works just fine.

Quite a few tricky bits on that bike. I like it.

Welcome to the forum.

Very interesting bike there Peter.

Care to tell us a little about it?

Please...!

Eddie; just klick one of the pics, and there´s more, both pics and reading. After looking at that, I´d classify this bike as a couple of notches above "very" interesting.....

Thanks for the tip Tommy, really good stuff.

I particularly like the quote: "the bike weighs about the same as a stock Commando Interstate with the engine and gearbox missing"

Tommy, don't forget that I'm English, so "very interesting" is high praise really, in fact it probably translates into Amercian as "God dam freakin awesome dude"

Or something similar...

Actually, "Shit Fire!!!" should suffice...

Very nice bike. I keep hoping to find a clapped-out pile that could be converted into an old-school street-legal race bike. Something like that would be great fun for blasting around the back roads in my neck of the woods. Yours gives me inspiration!
