Can someone post some pictures of the plastic piece the the license plates attach to? I am qurious if there is a difference between the us which has notches cut out on each sideto fit the us turn signals and the european version which obviously has the turn signals in the tial light.
Thanks

I requested a home in the gallery but haven't gotten it yet, here is a link with my bike and other toys. The 3rd picture is the tail section. I saw a 750 Paso with the fender eliminated this weekend, I like the bike with the fender, good luck!

They are old Two Brothers C5 mufflers. The carbon fiber has faded a bit. I drilled out the SS rivets and tapped them for 8-32 SS button heads so I can rebuild them. They have quiet tips drilled out a bit so I can ride around town without ear plugs

How do you like the two borthers? Those are about the only exhuast I can find still being made for the 907.

I think they have improved the carbon fiber over the years so the new ones should not fade in the sun. The sound without the quiet tips was too loud to ride around town without ear plugs, especially the drone on deceleration. The quiet tips put a 1" diameter pipe and block-off plate in the tip. I found that too quiet so I drilled 6 .25" diameter holes around the pipe and it now has a lovely exhaust note to it. The fit is good, but you may need .25" spacers on the brackets to clear the axle.
Thanks Francesco, the Norton was my primary bike since 1978 and I have always put time and money into it in the spring to keep it looking good. I needed something more modern in the starting, running, handling,and highway riding department so I bought the 907IE from a friend. This bike is such a thrill it will take some time to miss riding the Norton, but I will put it back on the road next year
