961 Norton Flat Tracker
961 Norton Flat Tracker
Not a bad looking conversion, quite an extensive build including a new frame.
If this sells for around the £8k and the new owners of Norton can provide back-up in the long term it would be an interesting proposition.

Re: 961 Norton Flat Tracker
Overall a good idea and I like the concept but can it look a lot less "tarts handbag"

Re: 961 Norton Flat Tracker
It's difficult not seeing black/gold when looking at anything Norton!
I'd like it a little more understated too.

It's a homage to Ron Woods prepped bikes as ridden by Alex Jorgenson.
It's supposed to be over-stated, he's advertising his sponsors.
Love it, if I had a spare £8k-ish it would be in my garage.

Re: 961 Norton Flat Tracker
I want to like it, but I just can't. I'm almost there, but there's something wrong about it? Tank decal too big? Hipster diamond stitched seat, instead of rolls? Fork colour? Not sure if its one of them, or all of them, but it just doesn't fly for me?

It's not a case of there being *something not quite right* with it, there's nothing right about it at all. It's fucking hideous.
