The Featherbed inspired JMC wideline frame has been developed by Andy Sydlow. Lacking the front cradle it allows the engine to dominate the the bikes aesthetic and further simplify its appearance. The rear suspension comes in either a dual or mono shock configuration which is complimented by a set Ceriani Forks and Yoke or Norton on the front and you also get the option of stainless of fiberglass mudguards.

I don't like the way the front loops of the featherbed are cut away, it has to weaken the frame and isn't needed, plenty of norvins have the frame left intact.

Its not a norton frame. Its a frame designed to look like one by the engineers JMC. The Vincent engines are set up to act as a stressed member originally so act as the front loop in this design.
I think its nice to see the engine up front (particularly the red one), rather than hidden away behind cowling etc but it does take a bit of getting used to.
