Replacement original Norton Slip-On Shorty (Motad)

Lucky and unlucky on the same day: was out for a short ride on my 961 CR when a minivan suddenly stopped on a country road. I was behind it (already for some time) and stopped within 2 meters, due to the unlogical stop on the middle of the road. Then it happened: the clear reverse lights popped up and the minivan came at me. Minivan driver explained he passed a driveway and changed his mind to go back for the driveway and reversing was the shortest way... No time to get away...Bike fell over and I hit the tarmac with my shoulder. Collarbone-dislocated (can not advise to anyone as seriously painful) and on the bike only right side slip-on damaged besides a broken spy-mirror. Any suggestions where to source a replacement right side slip-on and/or repair suggestions ? Also anybody who changed slip-ons and would like to sell (complete set no problem) just let me know. Trust on the force of this awesome forum.

I think they are still for sale

I have a pair I’d be willing to sell. I’m in Australia.
They are in good condition except that an internal spot weld failed. It’s been cut along a weld seam, re-packed and re-welded. Good job but if you look closely you see where it’s been welded. If your interested let me know and I’ll send photos.

Hi nopdog

Where in Aus are you? I am an exponent of the loooooongs, but have had half an eye on a pair of shorties. If they are still available PM me and we’ll ‘talk turkey’ - bush turkey of course!
