The splines have worn away on the kickstarter on my 1961 Navigator. I've looked on the spare parts list and am a bit confused. Can I just purchase a replacement? And what is the part number?

Thanks.

Is everyone's 12 amp Wassel ammeter as odd as mine? This is the second new one I've  had, the first one was completely broken when I took it out of the box and this one looks like its going to fall to pieces as soon as I go over the fist bump.

Hello,

I have read many topics in this forum dealing with how to fit a side stand, all I have seen are comments about material removal - no comments about the side stand spring , am I the only person to have a problem fitting the side stand spring!

Hello all - Do any of you erudite scholars remember Neil Blayney ?

I am wondering if anyone in the Vienna Austria  area could help me. I live in Minnesota and own a 1954 Norton big 4 which was purchased with a Febler sidecar from the Eichler dealership on 5.5.1954 by a Mr.

Hi , has anybody had a problem with the fuel taps , I.e had to remove the filters from the fuel taps to increase the flow of fuel .

Hello

can the handlebars on the 961 cafe racer be changed to the sports style bars

With the sad passing of Mick Hemmings today, and of Peter Williams earlier this year, how about a small "Hall of Fame" for those held in high esteem within Norton circles?

OK a can of worms here..

I see that norton gears that are marked with nxxxx. some have 3 after them. I guess this the pressure angle? So shouldn't be mixed with those not marked with 3?

Would somebody advise me, how should be the correct assembly order of seat and tail faring. We tried to fit it properly on my brothers commando, but seat bolts look short. Detail in picture.

I just heard that Mick Hemmings passed away in the early hours of this morning, RIP Mick.

I have at last completed my 71 full crank up Combat rebuild and pleased to say started first prod ! After a life in the US and many years dead ,it snow on UK plates but I have a problem !

I’m having problems getting the correct tank badge screws, I’ve been told they’re a 4ba screw but the holes look smaller maybe 6ba. This is the chrome tank without side panels it has just two round plastic badges

I have a 750, which I can no longer start from cold due to poorly knee. However if I get my son to start it with his size 11s it is 2 kicks, once it has been run I can then restart it myself.

Hi. This is my first Norton rebuild so the mystery of cam chains and magneto chains is entirely new to me. My 1960 Dommie 99 project shows 91000 miles on the mileometer.

I'm trying to work out what oversize pistons I need for my scratch-built Domi 88 500 engine (1958).  The bores in the cylinder block look good, so I want to avoid the cost of a rebore.  They measure 67.50+/- 0.05 mm all round , which is also good

Hi, can anyone identify the single sided front brake on my navigator (just purchased as a project) it's the last one shown in the members gallery.
