   see pictures number  5/6   I also have been careful not to spill fuel on the tank, i would advise the same
   As with many Nortons, the clutch plates stick when this bike sits, just pull in the clutch, put it in second or 3rd, rock it a few times and it    frees up and works perfectly
   there is a hairline crack in the primary chain case (pic 11), this happened many years before i got the bike, it has never been an issue, 
   There is  minor minor oxidation on a few areas of the wheel rims which can probably be removed if you are gentle.
   The kick starter hits the right pipe and has taken some paint off
   please note, this is a true cafe racer, it has no turn signals, horn or mirrors, just a headlight and tail light

 I welcome inspections in person, this is a Brit bike and shifts on the right side, GP style.



 Vehicle is for sale locally, i reserve the right to end this auction at any time.
 Call with questions,  Larry 917-861-8105   Thanks for looking
