Hi I need to get either someone to paint the age related graphics or have some transfers made, can anyone recommend someone or where I can get the transfers made?

I have just got this 74 Interstate 850. It does not have a tool kit with it, but it also appears not to have a suitable place for one to have been. Was it discontinued, or am I missing something obvious?

Hi,

Hi all,

Friend of mine sent me this the other day - handy to print and keep with the tools....

I've spent a couple hours or more on the internet over the last few days looking for an Electra Clutch Lifter Cam-plate Assembly part #048195 to no avail.  Norvil says they might have one but the guy who knows is gone for a couple weeks.

Every road bike needs a toolbox, but although they were an option my Inter didn't even have the brackets. So I'm fitting an Indian one. A few issues of course.

Hi,

Anyone suggest black paint for the master cylinder that is resistant to brake fluid ? Thanks, Roy.

Hi all can I accurately date my Commando via the frame number, the previous owner had new crankcases and engine nos not stamped, my bike is listed as a 72 Roadster, its not a Combat. I haven't got an issue just would like to confirm.

Does anybody know of a source of Wideline rear mudguards?

The NOC shop seems to have be out of stock for some time.

Kind regards

Hello Noccers -  Today I’ve  been out to rescue a Norton Navigator after its 30 years in a barn  looking sorry for its self.  Now it’s in my nice warm shed awaiting rebuilding back to it’s former glory.

Having just leafed through the February edition of Roadholder and I was surprised to see handy hint regarding circlips. This is almost exactly how I was taught as young lad when playing with my first bike. 

Any recommendations for an ignition timing light for a 12v positive earth system with coils? Thanks..

Hi folks

Good evening. I have just acquired a 1974 850 mk2a Interstate. I think. I don’t collect it for a few days so I’m not 100% certain exactly what it is.  Despite 40-50 bikes in the past nearly 50 years this is my first Norton.

The right hand seat retaining bolt on my Electra has a stripped thread. I ordered a seat retaining bolt SS23 71 21298 from the NOC shop. Unfortunately this is definitely not a replacement for the bolt on the bike.

Went out to the garage in the dark, touched the bike ,huge static spark 1" long lit up the place. Don't play with petrol in the garage!!.
