Norton hardtail...

I have always loved old Norton bikes, but haven't seen often a Norton modified in something else than a racer or a cafe racer.

So when I hear about a Norton modified as a chopper, bobber, etc... I am kind of afraid to see a nice bike becoming an big ugly nothing.

But this bike is just great. I love the style, low, long, black, classy with thin tyres. I love it.

I found the pictures on HardSun Motorcycles (Thank you), but don't know much about this bike.
On the tank logo it is written Domaco, but I couldn't find any information about it on Internet…

So if someone has more info about this bike or it builder, please share it. Thanx ^_^

HRCS - Best of British Custom Chopper & Bobber

During the 20th Hot Rod Custom Show the "Best of British Custom Chopper & Bobber" award was accorded to Heiwa Motorcycle (Mr. Kimura) for their ’58 Norton Model 50.

I completely agree with this choise. When I saw this Norton at the show, I spent several minutes checking it. It's an awesome bike. The next 4 pics are some of the photos I took there.
I love the tail light...
...and the holes on the fork covers... Very nice.

The next pics are from the Heiwa blog. They show details of the building steps.

Congratulation Heiwa Morotcycle!!!
おめでとうございます!!! (Omedetou Gozaimasu!!!)
