We've just been informed , the rear frame loop , is BS 980 - CDSI .
They all crack , bend , fall off . UNLESS it is the REAL 73 Frame .
Rear Shock mounts , the inner bracket - to the top bolt , should run aft further by a few inches than the outer ,
to stop it sagging with five ton of gear on the back , touring . BOTH Brackets the same , Both sides , its earlyer .
( so , WHAT we're saying is , So What . Throw a replacement on , If you Must . H
If its coherant and the refits are LIGHTER , it'll go faster & handle better .
If the footrests are further back , your ahead .
While a stock one is very good , it wasnt Micheal Angelo's best work . In fact they were all flawed .
Thus , if the modifications actually ARE improvements , your better off .
Only a Nerd buys a Norton to ' make money ' on . theyre a RIDERS Machine , for the hill country .
a coffe bar poser or fast food hangout type wont get far , unless he's a street racer . Likely he wont last long at that there .
Were stories ' Did You Hear - The First Traffic Lights about a quater mile past Whites , a new Norton Commando . 80 m.p.h.
SPLAT .
Histry .
The End.
GONE .
Forever Noo More .
Excesses are best confined to the wide open spaces . Past 1/2 throttle in town - EVERYTHING is in the way . and the brakes dont work . Well .
Havealookat the Current PRODUCTION RACER thread . THAT is what you want , do racerised a trifle , Stock tank & seat . To fool em all .
In my humble opinion . Or so we all thought . Actually standard theyre pretty good . just dont go makeing a hole in the scenary ,
as theyre deceptively fast if theyre running well .
