Thanks Mike.
I think I may have seen it at the old Norton factory in Rugeley.
They had made a few conversion manifolds for the RE5 , I was almost tempted to convert one of my bikes, From what I remember they ran very rough at low RPM but then absolutely flew at above 3500 RPM and it was hard to stop it going into the red.
I don't think I would like the MPG.
I wonder if STARLIGHT Now have the manifold castings ?

I take it that's a fuel pump on the right hand side of the photo? Just what we need more stuff sticking out the side of an RE5 motor.
