I see you got the video up. Sorry I couldn't help, was asleep here in NZ!

Looks great.

You bought it right? Sounds good to me.

I wish my alternator/regulator worked that well. Only time I see 14V is when the charger is hooked up.

Sounds like your bike needs some electrical tlc.

Care for sure. The tender and loving part won't help.

I think the OP has an opportunity to purchase a nice sample of a Norton.

Nobody else reacting to the color of the oil returning to the tank? Looks like sludge to me, but it could be mismatch with the filming and my computer screen.....

That oil is coming out of the crankcase breather pipe (which is why it was splashing everywhere) and not the scavenge so the sump must have been reasonably full.

Oil coming up breather through my reed flapper valve turns latte like. Must be from the frothing it gets.

That's what I was thinking Jerry.... Take her home and let love blossom. ... You can finish checking things out there if you can beat him up a little on price... Just for your ego on that.

Don´t worry, I´m just automatically suspicious to that color of oil, bad experiences from car engines.....

Where’s the OP gone?

You bought the bike yet Head?

So long as it’s not over priced, looks like a nice bike to me.

As already mentioned, those bars aren’t stock, but who cares? Try ‘em first, you might like ‘em!

Looks nice and sounds nice IMHO.
