Post Sale Update: After 11 bids on eBay, this “Norley” sold for $5,300.


Combine a HD 1200 Sportster motor and a Norton Featherbed replica frame and you get a Harton. Wait, I got that backwards – it’s apparently actually called the Norley (or the Project Manxster, as it was dubbed in the pages of Cafe Racer magazine). This bike was built by Blake Kelly and I’m sure it upsets some purists. What do you think of it?

This bike (VIN: 108210) is claimed to be “a Sportster that handles like a racebike”, and it’s packed with excellent components like Motogadget gauges, aluminum Norton Manx bodywork, replica wideline Featherbed frame from JWA Motorcycles of Wales, Suzuki TL1000S forks, Suzuki GSX-R 750 front wheel, Race Tech G3S shocks, Honda CB750 headlight, Buell M2 rear wheel with a chain final drive, Storz performance rearsets, and plenty more.
