There is something about the retro motorcycle which appeals to the Japanese customizers in a strange, yet extremely productive way. And having classic European bikes "brewed and distilled" with the Japanese custom bike-building flavor turns out extremely nifty results, just like this Norton by Heiwa.
A Model 50 has gotten a refined and exclusive trim, becoming the Gentleman. Extensive re-working has added some striking accent to this build, retaining all the classic attire and at the same time making it utterly different from pretty much any other Nortons, save for other Heiwas.
The handlebars scream retro style, and their bend is a subtle complement to the line of the scrambler exhaust. The low seat with stitched suede is somehow dwarfed by the awesome tail light and its slim profile makes a very nifty contrast with the baffled forks.
Additional “cool points” com from using brass fasteners and bolts, bringing in even more retro to this already classic machine. There is definitely something about the Japanese builds... believe us!
