I have now found that the owner, Daniel Mansilla, has identified it as follows: Frame: FN motorcycles, Belgium model M67 1928-1935 (also rear hub, according to Mats. (The M67 is normally fitted with a 494cc overhead valve unit construction engine). The engine is a ) JAP V-Twin 980cc side-valve from 1929; Girder forks: Norton circa 1935; petrol tank: probably comes from a BSA; Lucas Mag-dyno; Amal carburetor. The sidecar is a Stoye (Germany).

 

"AJ NORTON"

In British Bike Magazine, January 1989, this "AJ Norton special was covered in an article. Is this the same bike as the Ajay-Norton below? Yes, having closely compared the photos, I am certain that the bike above was later cosmetically improved to appear as it does below.

On V-Twin News p.9 you saw a picture of the Gregory 1100 Mach 1. Here it is shown with monoshock conversion, Astralite wheels and belt-driven overhead cams (saves 16 pounds over the chain-drive cam system). See Performance Bikes Magazine, June 1990 for the article.

 

THE VULTURE

Built by Roland Broadbent in Banbury, Oxfordshire, UK. The engine is a commercial engine - a Kohler from USA, stripped of plastic fan cowlings, and with the flywheel skimmed to lose its cooling fan. The frame is made by Roland - rear end copied from a Vincent. BSA gearbox, 8-inch BSA brakes, Hagon front shock, and handmade girder forks. See article in Classic Bike Guide, November 1977.

 

 

VINCENT VISCOUNT.

These were variously 6, or between 10 and 12 of these specials made; built by Tom Somerton in Staffordshire in the fities, using Vincent engine, Norton Featherbed frame, alloy rims and fibreglass parts... like most Norvins, except these also had Norton magnesium racing hubs. Of all the pictures online, most are Eric Patterson's Bonneville racer, in various states... and there is one other bike.

Eric-Patterson-and-Viscount  650_Viscount2 ViscountVincent-1 20-July-2014-482 20-July-2014-525

It starts off with revolting MZ mudguards, then new tank, seat, front wheel minus brake, exhausts; then new paintjob; then a front brake is added for Bonneville.

"AJAYCENT"

10-green-metallic 

"Thanks to John Ulver, this bike was identified as a 1000 Black Shadow Series C belonging to John Hugels (VOC SoCal) as the bike was in the 70s. Since she has converted back to the original spec. Anton Dee suggests the rear frame is a Matchless / AJS. After checking, it really looks like a AJS 16MS. This is an excellent example of what can be done quite simply is a workshop as the parts comes from aftermarket." Source: Egli-vincent.net
