The road to hell is paved with good intentions, the road to recovery is saying I'm not going to go there anymore...I sympathize I have an sp1000 in parts on the floor...maybe it's time to let it go

Maybe worth it if it was a running machine. Nice collection of parts. Projects are always money losing exercises.

Unless Norton prices are dropping, the bike in Westfield looks to be priced very well for purchase.
I sold a non running but a complete original one last year for over $5k. It was repatriated to GB.
The project is tempting but right now I need to lighten the project burden at home not increase it. It is too high priced.
I am getting ready to post the Centauro on eBay this weekend.

You would need to be born in a side-basket Norton, with your daddy still competent, to set that mess right.  But then again. It's just up the road, Chuck.  R3~
