@1995Sebastiaan , Intwine - Sorry

Really nice build, I didn't know you can do a open belt on ironhead sporty. What type of kit did you use.

[no1bo1dy]

Thanks, It´s a modified megadrag belt kit. 1 tooth smaller front pulley and a spanner. Have to close/seal the trapdoor to run it dry.

The clutch control is home-made, incl. a bearing to support the outside of the clutch.

Did you weld fins in to fill up push rod reliefs

[no1bo1dy]

No welding on the heads, bolt in.

Looked hard for a Norton frame but alas had to mod the Sporty to make it sporty.

Nice alloy work!

Awesome !!!!!

To run dual carbs, was it just the correct cylinder head and camshafts or was there more to it?

[kwcolvin1]

any vids of this beast being run on the road/track? i'd love to see it in motion!

[briandut]

Great job. Fantastic bike.

Give up your daytime job and build bikes ! There's bike builders out there making a hideous amount of money with a fraction of your skills. Seriously.

I knew a guy years ago in Los Angeles with a similar setup except fairing. Featherbed frame, Harley motor, with a period norton racing tank, bump seat, rear sets, clip-on's etc....gorgeous bike, sounded and looked great! I tried to get him to paint NARLEY in Norton script on the tank but that didn't go over too well. At the time I had a BSA Spitfire. Those were fun times! You've done great job on this.
