Nice ride, and all the best. I had a right hand shifter in the house before and didn't seem to have any confusion while riding. You might want to check in your state about the lack of turn signals and if it can be licensed as classic or antique. With a normal tag, you might get hassled by Johnny Law. You get to learn to use hand signals now.
If you don't like the reversed shift of 1 up 3 down you can buy a proper footrest kit here https://www.unityequipe.co.uk/Unity EquipeCatalog
I don't think I'll have an issue with the right hand shift but the reverse shift pattern may be a bit intimating. If this was the only bike I would be riding I think I could get use to the changes. Not sure about the foot peg location, up and back puts more bend in the old knees. Turn signals won't be a problem, unless it is from the confusion of other drivers on the road. Might have to wait awhile to license it with the covid-19 still effecting most DMV in the state. Don't see the law having an issue with it, even without turn signals. Cheers
When I pick it up I'll ask the builder if he has the parts to change it back, he advertises to special in British bikes. Might even give him a call and see if he can put the stock setup back on it.
Yes along with the electronic ignition, lots of upgrades, as it stated, "it is like a brand new bike." The builder is one of those suppliers of all things British!
God that name bought back some memories, I like the old time line drawing pic's still used on some items, it was them and Wassel in the day
Congratulations, Jim! How exciting that you won such a great lottery prize! I'd have been like you initially--wondering who was trying to play a trick on me. Enjoy that beautiful new motorcycle.
Fantastic. Lovely to hear some good news for a change. Totally out of the blue. You must be on cloud 9
Totally over the moon, my son lives close to the shop and was there this morning seating on our new toy! I'll need to cut the video down and you guys/gals can hear it running! I've cut the video down but I keep getting and error message, I'll see if I can figure that out.

Here is a video of the bike being started while my son was at Union Motorcycle Classics the morning of Oct 13,2020 www.Unionmotorcycle.com
My son was pretty impressed with the Norton too. They have built some pretty cool bikes, if you explore their web page you can see a few of them.
