It sure does look like a big, ugly crack... it's just a reflection. The air box is okay.

Always expected to have to get an alloy tank but I am very fussy about details the bottom lip could be a bit more rounded for my liking and kind of like current modern filler cap. Monza looks good on my Morgan though… Have a couple of projects on the go at present may even make a visit. Prices are excellent.

That looks like a nice tank. You guys should also check that the new tank threaded holes for the fuel pump flange are long enough for the original bolts, my aluminum tank weren’t long enough. Got my aluminum tank from new Norton in early 2021, paid for in Aug 2020 for 800 for tank, 35 for screw cap and 4 for cap gasket, funds in pounds.

I’m also loving the look of a painted tank section, inside the bounds of the current pinstripe - as shown on this beautiful Trumpet. Left in original black and gold. Very classy IMO. More thought required for the tail section. Definitely going to keep hold of the original tank though.

Just my opinion, but personally I think your Norton would look a bit shit with Triumph on the tank…

Would work beautifully with the black’n’gold single seat setup. Leave the gold pinstripes and everything internal to it the same, with the rest in polished ally. Would look ‘the dogs’ in my opinion! If I can ever get my hands on a single seat unit that is.
And whilst we are on aesthetics, although a lover of the longs, I really like these shorter pipes that look both traditional and finished!! Anybody know where these may have come from? Looks like there may be manufacturers details on top of the cone, so may not be custom made.

Thanks both Jon and Tony. Haven't received a reply from my enquity form I sent last week. Maybe I'm too impatiently excited. Also, this is a new sensation for us 961 owners so they could possibly get backed up. Loved reading their website and history. I'm totally psyched and hope to get this by the summer.For anyone in the U.S. wanting to paint their tank, have a look here..
QUALITY MOTORCYCLE PAINTING AT REASONABLE PRICES
I'm posting this for a customer - Brent Budgor performed an excellent paint job on a customer’s 1968 BMW R50US. These motorcycles are difficult to paint correctly especially the frame and related small parts. In addition, the job was completed in a timely and professional manner with no changes...www.accessnorton.com
very highly regarded.
