Identify these bikes! / Re: Norton NSU

thanks a lot for the pic

looks like the frame has been powder coated, can't see the nr on that spot. Will take off the powder coating at that spot to get the nr visible.
we'll see what under it.

Can anybody tell me what a fair price would be to ask for this bike??

no, no nrs there  >:(
i will have to get them in there. as mentioned before, a pic would help. they may be under the painting, as the bike went through the autorities in holland to get the engine in the paperwork. it would have never gone through if the nr wasn't there somewhere
thanks a lot

yes, i know, but due to the fact that i can't find them, i thought it would be better to have a pic of the location.
Maybe my English istn't what i expected, especcially with these technical terms  ???
sorry guys

ps. i put the bike on sale for a high price in germany, just in case someone is interested there in the NSU world. Doesn't need to go but if price is right, who knows, i drove it saturday, but i don't feel secure, prefer to do hillclimbs in a car with 130miles/h, feels much better

need your help again.
can anybody post a pic or send it by mail about the whereabout of the id nr on the frame?
I checked everywhere, can't find the framenr anywhere. It might be painted over or something like that, before i start scratching all over the bike, a pic would help

i drove the motor last weekend on a short tour, it needs some small maintenance and modification, which will be done over the next 2 weeks.

After that is done, i probably put it on for sale, as i have nothing really with motorcycles anymore.
 thanks for your help again

hi guys

of course you can get in touch with me:
arno.zuylen(at)planet.nl

I picked up the motor, it is pretty huge!! It has the oldest version of the 1000cc NSU engine mounted. This one isn't perfect, very noisy chain for the camshaft etc.
I am thinking of replacing the engine for a better one, i have a couple lying around, it may be that i will put in a 1200cc engine from a NSU TT. I need to do something about the carbs as well, as the ones for cylinder 2+3 are mounted very close to a plate which gives them not enough air. Very well to see on the exhaust pipes, nr 1+4 are nice blue, 2+3 are shiny chrome, not blue, so not hot at all.
I'll keep you informed about the progress.

But on the other hand i might sell the bike as well. i will think it over the next couple of days. I have as you see on my website a couple of other projects running as well.

wow, great, these fast replies
i will pick up the bike on tuesday so i will be able to get you all the questions answered
the framenr is 18110319, don't know if this is an original norton nr.

the info about the TTS mounted motorcycle is a very interesting one, whatever info you have would be great on this, as a friend of mine wrote a book about NSU prototypes, private projects etc 10 years ago and these are sold out now, so he is planning to do a rerelease with more bikes and cars in there. So pls send me all info you can get if he wants to be in that book!!
thanks

hi guys,

i am completely new in the motorcycle world. Till now i was busy with classic racers and rare special builds, all based on the legendary NSU from Germany, see my website www.nsutt-scirocco.nl
Today i bought a motorcycle, a norton, year 1964, with an NSU 4 cylinder from a car build in.
To get more info on the frame etc, i would be very helpfull if you could tell me what type of norton was used, what front fork(is this the right english word??), which brake drums etc
here are some pics







thanks for a lot of feedback guys
best
