DESIGN |
Design at MCT is a passion as well as one of our core competencies. We have been designing high performance systems and components for many of the top race car series in the world as well a number of OEM applications.
Our designers are also supported by MCT's analysis, product and manufacturing engineering departments to ensure full feasibility is integrated at all stages of the design process.
As you would expect we have a full suite of design and analysis software tools based around Unigraphics NX3, we can also integrate with most of the systems in use today

Seems this outfit was involved . page 9 mototech international april / may 2010 .
Skinner . P 17 " the bike looked fantastic "
P 22 " the styling was fantastic "
" the styling is spot on "
p24 " the end result is we have a bike that looks right "
p26 " from an engineering point of view , it doesnt get any more exciteing than that ' .
Pity they didnt know something about NORTONS . In my estimation the elimination of the Isolastics and the substitution of power sapping balance shafts ( amougst other things ) are RETROGRADE , on the whole .
Also dont appear to know their heritage .

You met dave shrum , in Eugene .Oregon . Mr SNorton . /
What with Manney our friend in Perth , one or two transmission aufacturors and the belt drive chaps , were not exactly stuck , for NORTON
Componentry . Even if we are for the wherewithall .
.
Outside of a stock frame , weve not a lot to worry about . If the Leve Holds .
What do the Nortoneers make of this for a Chassis ??
One of TWO built , according to EGLI Records . Note ; still maintains Isolation .

I don't believe that I've met him, but his name sounds familiar. That bike is pretty cool. What chassis? Ha. Me, I'm hoping to get an oil in frame, bronze welded Commando frame someday.....

Rohan said:There is a pic around with a Buell (sportster) engine in it, very similar to your pic below.
Given that they are up around 100bhp, look similar, and parts are available over the counter...
This is Denny Delzers bike, engine is a standard Rapide, rebuilt by the late Dick Busby.
The Frame isnt quite an Egli or an Egli rep, it is a Terry Prince monoshocker. Terry built a few of these frames in the 1980s. It was a natural progression to the original Egli Vincent which was a twin shocker. Terry still advertises these monoshock frames on his website, tho he has no stock and you will never get him to build one. I knkw, I tried and ended up building my own frame for the Glenli.
That was just as well, his monoshocker would not have worked for my eventual plans, 180 rear wheel and progressive monoshock suspension
Terry fabricated most of the original Egli Vincents back in the 60s/70s he was Fritz Eglis young Employee/welder at the time.
Righ now he is at Bonneville attempting to set another sidecar record with his 142rwhp Vincent Special.
His health is poor and he no longer plans to offer Vincent parts for sale, so I feel lucky to have gotten from him all of the components needed to build a similar engine to his Bonneville racer, but this will go in te Glenli for road use.
Glen
Rohan, Im not sure what he is expectingfor speed. The potential is there for a very high speed, however it is Bonneville, things tend to go wrong!
In the past he always rode the bike but now his eyesight is very poor, so he has a young guy riding it.
Terry told me that last time out it really frightened him and he just could not bring himself to opening it up. I can't imagine attempting such a thing without good eyesight, that would be terrifying.
