Here is the next project just bought this for my wife as she ride one similar last year and said if ever one came up she wanted one so here it is 1974 norco dirtmaster which I have bought from Dave who in turn bought it from Rupert .we have a plan of how we want it to look and I know that there are some who would say just leave it as it is but I feel that we can give it a rebirth

Ace job on that seat  :4_17_5:
