These motorcycles are Nortons, not BSAs... There's a thread about this exhaust thing on the WD Norton forum.

There's a picture of an M20 with one fitted..(Henk has a copy)...Never a production thing on the M20 though as far as I am aware...Ian

Thanks Henk...Interesting bike that one...Virtually no plated parts..Also, the odd rear carrier, exhaust mod and an early example of a pillion set up that I would assume was considered for production.

Other noteworthy features are the 'cross head' pattern of the toolbox fastener, what appears to be an extended/modified oil tank drain plug..and the 'Talflow' air filter...(why didn't they use those in the desert campaign?..).

I can't say I'd route the valve lifter cable that way either!.. ..Ian

A question abouth the levers on the earley M20 are those the same as on the picture the bowden combination levers ? Regards Theo

The Irish Army use these pillion seats on many of their early BSA's.

Hi Ron,

I am afraid that you need new spectacles, they are or look like the Bowden levers used up to I guess 1942/3. Not all parts are as they should of course.

I disagree Henk. If I zoom in on that picture, I can clearly see the long valve lifter and extra long ignition lever. Just as I have. I can even see the nipple less cable on the brake lever. Maybe it's you should have gone to 'Specksavers' Ron

I think we are talking about two different photos, I was talking about the photo Theo posted with the two sets of levers. I guess you had the proto type photo in mind?

thanks for giving us these links. i have never seen such wonderful quality film before showing this ship and its cargo. it is really poignant seeing this. stuck in a moment of time. it is sad and amazing at the same time. so beautiful the images out of such horror. rest in peace.
