hi. i've raced classic bikes over the years & help some people out with there classic racing sportys  e.g. 1959 stroker/methonal burner outfit, at the moment iam doing the engine for a 1968 xlch  for classic  racing class , if you go pre 1972 it can race in the post classic class   you will be up against honda/4s etc but if you find a 1968 xlch or earlier she can go in pre 1963 classic class  as long as the motor has the early tin type pri with no electric  start housing  as the same as early a 1963  because they will let it run in that class because the only thing differant is the engine  number  you will be more in the same type of bike class in classic than post classic  & more of the same type of bikes,   i.ve been around cast iron sportys for a while  if you need any help  only too glad to share some info/help  ,

i  do have a 1952 to 1970 frame  stock , swingingarm , back wheel & maybe some tripple trees & taper roller bearing steering  kits also have fibre glass moulds for norton manx tank & tail peice  + G50 matchless tailpeice , cheers  sporty bob
