Wideline Manx seat is not new-has a bit of character. I built the tanks. I was a student of Evan Wilcox. Tanks are not "perfect", but pretty darn nice. Bike currently has 440 miles on the odometer and runs really well, barely broken in. This is not a "concours" bike. I don't even know what "concours" is/are. This is a rider. It needs to be out there doing what Tritons do. Frame has underside bosses welded in for the lower engine case through-bolt and has a very good head steady. These are important. Wideline frame is a 1958 Norton Dominator 99. T140 engine originally had a left side gear shift but has been changed back to right side shifting. Machined plugs were installed in the engine to plug the left side gear shift mechanism holes to facilitate the changeover. Some hardware is US Aircraft AN as I was an A&P (aircraft) mechanic and had lots of AN hardware in the shop. Nice bike, certainly not perfection, but really decent. You couldn't build it for the price. I am seventy one years old and have too many bikes to ride-bummer! I love this bike but someone needs to give it a good home and ride it. I will try to be helpful with shipping at my end. Clear Montana title. Thanks for looking!
