Doing a bit of a declutter in the house, came across a stack of (clean) takeaway boxes and lids.

Help can anyone advise me on correct primary drive belt tension for a dominator 88

I've only ridden off once on my Mk3 Interstate with the sidestand still down and I realised my mistake when the bike wouldn't go round a left-hand bend.

Te 650SS I bought recently has a clutch operation force that would have defeated Superman. I read in this website 7/8" is the correct distance between fulcrum and the centre of the cable nipple. Mine has a distance of just over 1.1".

Hi All,

I have a Jubilee with a Navigator engine and have read through various threads regarding how to check the oil level.

A friend has a set of yokes and stanchions from a Norton project that he bought a long time ago. They where left over with some other early LS Manx parts and Inter spares.has anyone any idea what they could be off?  The stanchions measure 520mm.

Does anybody know where I can buy a front mudguard for a model 18 1947 tele fork

Hi,  I'm just assembling a half width front wheel for a 1934 Inter. The type with the fixed spindle. Can someone let me know the size of the brake plate spacer? Is it similar to the felt seal spacer on the other side?

Hi

Please can you enable the print facility on the new directory flipbook?

... or am I doing something wrong - cannot find any print facility.

I don't usually concern myself much with these, but I'm surprised none of my books has a setting for the camshaft nut. Is there a recommended value? Is it ever known to be a problem?

Hi. The barrels on my 1960 Dommie 99 project are the type with raised spigots. The spigot on one cylinder has a small amount missing (broken out). It’s triangular in shape and is about 4mm wide at its widest point (at the top).

Can someone please tell me how the quick release fuel tank cap is fastened to the tank. Is it welded or soft soldered?

Can someone please tell me the distance between the front of the Roadster seat base and the centre of the side mounting lugs?

My slimline Dommi is getting a bit awkward to roll on and off the main stand and as the side stand lug fractured some time ago I do not have a side stand.  So - I intend to fit a new side stand.

Thursday 6th May - 4.00pm......phone call to Roger at RGM for advice on unusual piston ring wear leading to loss of compression on my 650 Dominator.

Oil leaks around the front of the engine (850cc Mk2) at head gasket level are wearing me down.

Hi. The intermediate gear shaft on my Dommie 99 is scrolled and has an oil hole drilled half way along the length of the shaft. Does the oil hole need to point upwards or down?

I was wondering how many of these bikes were produced in total ?  I saw a figure of 200 in a Pitman publication for the initial batch with manual ignition advance.

Hi,

Could somebody help me identify these rear shocks that are fitted to my 1937 16H, it was modified to be a dirt track bike back in the day and I need to rebuild them cause they lost all of their oil.

Did any of the Jubilees come out of the factory with a white face ammeter.

Thanks

John.

Does anyone have or know where to get trials mudguards?  Norton 490cc - 1935

Or correct measurements to get it produced?  See attached picture

My horn takes so much power from my battery that I can only use it once in a while. Is there a simple fix eg a relay that will solve this. The system is 6 volt + earth and it’s on my 1952 Model 7. 

Thanks in advance 

William
