Yep, it is a 1970 Lightning. Very different from a '68. Just wondered why it is being referred to as a n earlier model.
Is it one of the 1970 models that was produced with the same sequence as the '67 bikes ?
A 65LA etc....
Thanks. A nice bike.

The timing side clutch wire cover is from a 1970 model

@bartimus1515 Type in LUNMAD, He is a whizz and has a couple of vids about setting and balancing the concentric carbs up. His are for a Bonnie but same rules apply.

Cycleski09 A bit of a typo there? Surely you meant "Thunderbolts were a single CARB a year earlier" not a single CYLINDER!! Single cylinders were the "B" and "C" types ie: B31 & B33. C12 & C15 etc
-
Umm, no, the Thunderbolts were the same bike, same years, but with a single carg and no tach (maybe a few other small variations but those were the fundamental ones). Great bike you have there.

Close, Thunderbolts were a single cylinder a year earlier.

Very cool. The twin carbs can be a pain to idle and care for but gives the bike such a symetrical look that I love.
My norton is currently in pieces but I'm looking to have it up and running next summer, stay tuned for a video of that pride and joy!
