the first Norley kit we made, which comprised of frame,swingarm,oil tank/ battery box, fueltank, head steady...
is now finished .

It belongs Alan Bernard, owner of Santiago choppers in Florida, and had it's first outing today. Alan is pleased with the ride. (bet he loves the front brakes,,,them is big)
it will be featured sometime in the new year in the american "cafe racer" magazine.

Another is being built by a motorcycle legal firm in this country.

this one still sits on it's sporty wheels and forks.
the main difference with this kit is that it uses an oil tank, not an oil tank and combined battery box, so it looks less imposing in that area. this one will have an exotic (read expensive) lithium battery under the seat hump.

Love the way the engine cradle loops up around the back of the motor. I'll have the first one please. Looks nicer from the left side, but not sure why.
Some beautiful workmanship chaps.
