i saw that a few days ago [as i was browsing ebay for buell porn!]

it is nice, but not for just shy of $20k

the norley cafe frame, just the frame is $3k - you can get a whole sexy buell for that price! : )

They buy kits from JW Motorcycle in England, it's one inch taller than a stock featherbed to accommodate the XL engine, or Vincent, if one has the money. It solves the tight fit problem. Nice kit, what with the alloy tanks that come with it.

It is nice, good workmanship. But the wheels need to be laced not cast

Footpegs are in normal Sportster (poor) position. For some reason the forks, and shocks, look too long, the swingarm too short. See the bottom frame rail is slanting up? Never saw that on a Norton or NorVin. Pretty decent craftsmanship, and even the idea is good, just wound up with something that doesn't quite look "right". Not even as good as a 'plain ol'" XLCR.

Could have also called it a " Narley"

The cloth "cafe racer" patch glued onto the timing cover is a tasty addition.
