WTF. I'm sure Geoff won't be happy to read this:

Frame and swing arm are extensively strengthened as G.M.C copied all the fault across from the original Norton frame

Pretty bold statement unless he has a PhD in structral engineering and finite element analysis.

Ohlin rear shocks with hydraulic over twin leading drum brakes operated by a magura hand brake.

Might have a crook right leg...

No clutch lever with a recluse clutch kit just a small slipper clutch lever which usually is located where a de comp lever would be then u can use a hyd clutch lever as a rear brake just need to extend hose thru to calliper

I'm pretty sure he is off the mark with the fame faults as Geoff strengthened the frame to counter the breakages.
