Reasonable cost? Or only for those buying ranches in Texas LOL Sight would not open for me?!?!?!?
 
Out of my price range as well all the other goodies for the Norton, anyone want to buy a used wife, going cheap, would sell the kids but they have run away from home, no only kidding, the wife is going cheap lol.

Well heck fire, you ain't really a Texan TILL YOU OWN A RANCH!

4 acres was stretching credibility, especially without the cowboy boots & hat. 10 acres literally "puts me on the map"!

Teeth are good, great cook, gets lost, picks the drunk mates up from the pub to drink more booze at my place and take them home when they had to much, well trained, cheap to run only problem she like a chat, man does she chat, talks under water, glad she not allowed in the shed unless she bringing more booze or food, she is a good woman, puts up a lot from me, anyway going cheap.

Mileage? Oil tight? Wetsump much?
 
I have a stock set of mutes on the shelf, maybe that would help. I tried them on my old lady but they are too loose....

I think there is more to be said, as no one has yet received a sample. Excitement, approval, hopefully no criticism .....

Indeed, acadian mentioning tracking numbers says that. Agreed. Eventually we will get feedback, and I am expecting good feedback when we do.

I just didn't want to live through another cycle of people who won't buy one anyway complaining about the price, particularly when the price is significantly lower than it was.

Well said, all the way around.
 
Keeping clean good running vintage 2 or 4 wheel vehicles on the road is not a cheap hobby. Youz guys know that.

I just bought something for my Norton that made me cringe, but resistance is futile. You have to pay to play. Do not add up the receipts!

The price looks good to me on these STS FA heads. I probably won't be buying one anytime soon, but I would buy one before I'd buy a used Norton head regardless of the rarity of an old Norton twin head.
 
I love to buy all these goodies but being a low income earner all my life with family and now retired on a self funded pension, I have owned my Norton and done major improvements all the 46 years of ownership, scrump and saved as I went, lucky my Norton has always been reliable all its life, but I did most of the major hotting up back in the 80s as well the conversion to the Featherbed frame, still using the original valves in the ported and shaved head and spent money on upgrades when things were cheaper as I went along, I have built it my way but have upgraded the brakes, ignition, frontend and of course motor upgrades, everything else works great as it is, I got to use what I have these days, just living life is hard enough money wise, so to a lot of us poor buggers spending lots and lots of money on new heads, E starters, new barrels etc etc is just a pipe dream for me and a lot of others, as I say I got to use what I have and if anything breaks I have to fix it as cheap as I can and working at a TEC college for 31 years I had the machines and people to help with the work that was needed to do my Hotrod Norton, no labour cost to me, these days I just hope it keeps going as it has always, I have my 1200 Thruxton for every day use now and hopefully both bikes will see me out.
