From time to time people put the engines from one manufacturer into the frame of another. Tritons from the 1960's are the obvious example. Norvins (Norton frame/ Vincent engine) were also one of those bikes which appeared. These days if I had a Vincent, I would leave it in a Vincent frame, they make a lot of money for good examples and if a good handling classic is your bag, just leave a Duke engine in your Duke! Just my two pennorth!! :wink:

I had the misfortune a couple of years ago to be lumbered with collecting & delivering a Triton for my friends father.

It was a beautiful machine to look at & in excellent condition, but an utter death trap to ride!

Complete kudos to anyone who rides a vintage bike, but the wooden brakes & bakolite carbs made it an experience I don't care to repeat.

Fortunately it is now to be an exhibit in the entrance of a building he owns, which in my honest opinion is the best place for it.
