I never thought about putting a ES on my Norton but thanks to GP and everyone here helping me to get back on my Norton and giving in the way I be able to ride my Norton and with a missing leg how I be able to start it, so Sunday I sat up in the shed, with a few cold beers to help with my thinking and where I be able to mount a big battery for the starter kit.
I love my round alloy oil tank and where it mounts across the and under the tool tray of the Featherbed frame, and not much room to fit a larger battery.
Well just before I was thinking more about it and I still have the original right side Featherbed oil tank, it also holds more oil than my round alloy tank so thinking I could re install that oil tank and mount the big battery behind the oil tank on the left side, I no longer have the original battery box, have the cover for it, but I could make a battery tray for what ever size battery I need for the ES so I think I have solved the battery problem, but I do love my round alloy oil tank it just look right for my bike and it's also light.
As it is I need to fully rewire my Norton for the ES as I have very min wiring on my Norton (with the Joe Hunt) and I might have to make a new tool tray that sits under the seat, but I have done that before, I ran with the original oil tank for over 30+ years without any problems with it, it's been over 15 years ago when I mounted the alloy round oil tank.
