Italianiron & Britiron Classics Niches

Posted by Scot P Wilson on Jan 31st 2024

At Italianiron & BritIron Classics, let us "Fuel Your Race Passions" is not just a slogan but a commitment, whether you are building a vintage Ducati TT or Pantah racer for competition, a Ducati F1 vintage street bike or restoring a Norton Commando or Manx racer. We want to thank the massive number of our customers internationally and domestically for another great year in 2023 and we are excited as we proceed into 2024!! We continue to offer a comprehensive, specialty portfolio of Ducati TT, Pantah, F1 as well as Molnar Manx and Norton Commando engine, chassis and bodywork kits to all of our customers worldwide. We continue to help restorers and racers with providing them with top quality racing inspired spares and offering painting services when required due to our restoration expertise and build results. We will continue to focus on supporting the sport of Italian & British vintage motorcycle racing and can be of service with a cross section of products and services. The germ of this business started firstly with the participation in motorcycle racing with Norton Commando twins and quickly evolved into racing Bevel Drive Ducati's. From those humble beginnings, we have expanded our racing and product development into Belt Driven Ducati twins up to 1 Liter Superbike racers and street bikes. Our hearts do lie with our Ducati TT and Pantah racers that follow in a proud tradition as shown below. 

We have developed an expertise with Ducati TT racers, Pantah's, F1's, Paso's and Supersports through our affiliation with TGA/Molnar Precision LTD in the UK that we have on offer in addition to our own inventory of OEM products for Italian & British marques. Shown below are just a few examples of our offerings to include fuel tanks in aluminum or fiberglass in addition to our comprehensive inventory of seats and other bodywork kits. Do note that our post 2022 fiberglass fuel tanks that were previously warrantied up to E5 are now warrantied up to E10 fuels!! That improvement alone will give both the racer or street rider greater options as it relates to the use of different fuels for the track or street. As mentioned previously, ALL of our bodywork kits are available in either carbon fiber or fiberglass. The thick quality of the new gelcoat that we use, diminishes the need to paint the item such as our updated Superlight seatbase shown in red in the upper right of the photo below. That is obviously assuming that your desire is to have a red Ducati. Lastly, we have also created a very nice niche with the 1990's Ducati Supersports. It is our belief that we have one of the most significant inventories of engine components and OEM bodywork for these carbureted Supersports from 1991 to 1998 and we have a sea container on its way with more OEM Supersport bits. Those potent Ducati 900 & 750 engines really "wake-up" when combined with our SmartCarb flat-slides that we also have on offer!!

We are also having fun offering engine and bodywork kits for our Norton Manx, Norton Dommi's, Norton Commando's, Seeley Commando's and Rob North Triumph Tridents. In 2023, we unfortunately lost our aluminum fuel tank maker at the TT as he was a passionate racer. We are happy to report that we now have a new shop in the UK that is making our aluminum Ducati TT, Norton Manx and Norton Commando fuel tanks. Now that all of our bike sales have concluded (as we do not focus our efforts on bike sales but do it when we can help our friends) and they are in the hands of happy customers, we can get back to our bike builds! After completing our Pantah 750 racer and Norton Commando 920 cc JPN, we will begin working on a Dunstall Norton with a 1,000 cc Commando engine made with all of the newly manufactured original Commando bits made off of the original blueprints and finished on our CNC machines that we have on offer. Our plan is to provide videos of the build as this large capacity Dunstall Norton Commando 1000 cc engine will be built from the crank-up with our manufactured Commando cranks. In addition to all of our offerings of Italian & British racing spares, we also continue to provide our Ducati Bevel Drive Singles & Twins, Yamaha TZ350 and Dustin bodywork kits to different international and domestic customers. The quality of our bodywork kits are designed and tested for the rigors of the race track but pliable enough for street applications. We are also very proud of our windscreens as we can offer one for every bodywork kit that we manufacture. The quality is exceptional and pliable enough to mount easily without the use of a heat gun. Let us help you to build your "dream" racer or street bike!!

In addition to our product portfolio for TT and other Ducati racers, we are also excited to support enthusiasts for Norton Manx and Norton Commando racers through Molnar Manx and BritIron Classics Norton. Check out our Norvil fairings & windscreen offerings. Please review the numerous newly manufactured TT, Ducati F1 and Norton Commando items such as our aluminum fuel tanks, for example, and listed on my Italianiron.com website. British marques are listed on the Britiron or Manx section of the website. As a result of our offerings, it is our hope to help you to become immersed in the history, the passion and the early technology of these amazing machines. Let us "Fuel Your Race Passions" to keep the sport of Vintage Motorcycle Racing alive and well!!
