Being over cautious i think i put them under the wrong one. Just fitting a belt kit on the 850 its been a nightmare i was 3mm out on measuring the crank centre to the pushrod centre i got it at 235mm and it needed to be 232mm so an exchange kit will be re ordered tomorrow . I have loaded another photo just close your right eye to the ones on the right.

Well this is just what the NOC needs some young blood in this club has were all getting old, and the young should be made welcome to the club , why is there Not a young restorer prize and Cup with in the Norton owners club , and track days for young riders learn them young under a ever watchfull eyes of the older membership, the young need to have the opportunity to learn the real history of motorcycles and the ones a cut above the rest the Norton Mark , so guys and gals this all up to you to come up with some good ideas and try them out on the young see what feedback you get, But its a very nice photo we were all young once and had dreams have fun out there , yours Anna J

Ok here we go, the yamaha"s are a

XT500 1981 Gold rim model

CT3 175 cc 1973 twin shock the model before the DTs arrived

RD400 1981 air cooled with a set of original all speeds fitted

RD200 1978 air cooled pretty much standard

RXS 100 air cooled 1990 called Eric

Just restoring a 1981 RD250 air cooled in Kenny Roberts colours thats the frame you can see on the bench

TY80 trials 1975 which is Jensen"s

Hymoto 50cc Jensen"s again

He made me laugh because before i got the Norton"s i said we are going to have to sell a few and he went through them all and at a push he would maybe let Eric go , i had to smile the £500 for Eric was going to have to go a long way.

I love the CT3s! and took my test on a RD 200 electric start, in 76 I think. My mate had an RD400, white as I recall an a bit of a beast. I have a 77 and 81 yz both of which I race, and an IT400 which use for trail riding around devons finest green lanes.

Champion and nameless plug caps are available.

PS: The Dommieracer looks a credit to you and the little chappieon board!smiley
