Roger Goldammer Pics

Our friend Roger Goldammer sent us this pic of one of his newest projects, a Manx Norton tribute bike. Manx Nortons were built to celebrate the British manufacturers domination of The Isle of Man. They had a distinctive look with tall fuel tanks and seats positioned toward the rear.

   

Roger’s interpretation of the classic is named “Notorious” and packs in plenty of the trademark Goldammer innovation. He started with an HD Evolution V-twin and converted it to a single cylinder by removing the aft cylinder and replacing it with a blower. The main shaft, clutch pack and belt drive were all shortened in order to pay homage to the original bikes shorter proportions.

Two S&S oil pumps provide the lubrication for the bike, both of which are hidden from view. The single cylinder can produce 83 hp at 6,400 rpm. Power is routed through a Baker 6–speed transmission to the rear wheel.
