That's pretty cool, Ed. But a V-twin is a V-twin, even if it's the british kind, Dude!

This reminds me of the "Norvin" cafe racer that shows up at some of the britbike rides here in SoCal sometimes. It is BEAUTIFUL.

And just as you've photoshoped this BA with this Black Shadow engine in it, whenever I scan that Norvin at these rides, it's always amazing to me how the dude was able to stuff that big V-Twin motor in his Featherbed frame. I swear there's not 3mm of space to be found anywhere between the frame and motor on that bike.


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
