Pictures of your Norton 961

[TonyA]

Going to really struggle with any sort of cushdrive, as the hubs are quite wide....and space is of a premium on a Domi. It'll most probably have to be solid mounted, and I'll have to just be wary of that fact and always try to rev match on the down shifts. Its not uncommon to be solid mounted on custom builds though.

What do you think of the Kineo wheels ? They have a Cush as far as I can see. And they have ready to go Norton 961 wheel kits from HPS.

Just searched them out on Google. Yeah lool nice enough, but still wire spokes and not hugely different. Plus who wants a straight bolt in mod...thats far too easy, I wouldnt be able to cope haha
The motorsport wheels Im fitting are mega light, and easy to clean too.

It is and not much traffic,
The downside is the roads are definitely getting worse, standard of driving not good.
Up side is beautiful scenery and the countryside smells at this time of the year.

For about four years now.

Hello Richard , When does the water come back into the Harbor ?

Early morning & late in the evening, not suitable for swimming, May return again next Monday as a few things be redeveloped that way

which reminds me, I once heard an elderly couple say: does the tide come in every day?

I not used to seeing a Harbor go bone dry like that. What is that called a tidal plain ? How deep is the water at High tide Richard ?

9c temperature today for my Monday ride, 10% chance of rain the forecast predicted & by the second picture you can see what a 961 looks like in 50 miles worth of rain , however b4 the ride set off I’m at my usual starting meet place, & I’m sure you boaty types can clock the vessel in the background , The“Medway Queen “ , almost 100 years old , been a Thames river boat , a WW2 minesweeper, & a nightclub , having the hull refurbished atm .

Gotta say, the 961 looks good coated in road grime.
