I just got a 61 Norton 650 twin. I want to restore it and need some advice on where to find parts and who to go to to get the engine/trans rebuilt.

Parts needed:
front end forks
wheel rims

I'm new to brit bikes so any advice would be appreciated. I'm located in Chicago.

Thanks

I've got a 64 Norton 650 twin and am having a really hard time finding anyone who knows anything about the bike. Let me know if you find anything out.

Thanks!

For parts, Walridge motors does a good job. British Only has quite a bit too. Fair spares is mostly Commando but Phil is very knowledgable and surprises me with what he has on hand sometimes.
