Hello Carl,
Yes. If it's anything to do with Norton, this is exactly the place to be.
The website message part is quite new, so it's taking a while for the
old-school to join in.
Everyone's watching though.
I reckon you have a late 50's Manx tls there. There are shots of a late 50's Slazenger Manx with a huge scoop just like yours would have had.
The fork slider may be Manx as well.
Is it in a full width hub?
I'm posting a shot of a very similar one with a conical hub.
Maybe the one on your bike was retired following a fall, which wrote off the
original big scoop, so someone bodged on some ally & fitted it to their special?
It could be a really good stopper.
Nice one!
Paul
