| Additional Info | Completely one-off bike with all work by owner. Everything is fully adjustable including rake, seat height, rear ride height. Tank is machined from 2 blocks of aycrlic on 2-axis machine and hand finished. Mudguards etc were moulded by using heat and the tyres as formers.
On "Lamb Chop 2", all fittings etc are hidden - the idea on this bike was to make everything visible.
Engine slanted 40 deg with gearbox piggy-backed behind engine. The bike was built with Norton's great racing history in mind. I hope past generations would approve. Build time 16 weeks. |
