Bikes been running well, left it for a month with the battery on charge, upon starting the engine is running hot and lean (popping and plugs white) 

It is with great sadness that I have to inform you all, that the amazing frame, bike builder, and TT rider Colin Seeley passed away in a Woolwich Hospital, today. We so sadly diminished by such a sad loss.

I have reason to believe that my vertical shaft has been shortened but can't find any spec on the original length. Anyone got one available to measure? Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Can any member advise what these are worth now? I have tank and seat and want to sell!

My 1973 750 carb is an Amal R 932/26. Does this sound right for a single carb set up?  Ta.

Took off oil tank today, crimped the chain oiler take off and brazed it up. It was more of a nuisance than anything else.

Anyone else do away with theirs?

As I am close to completing  the rebuild of the top end of my 1956 Dominator 99 engine , I need to replace the damaged pushrods and I have carefully checked the rocker geometry using a home made adjustable pushrod.

Hello everyone on the forum!!!

Hey everyone hope we are all well.

Just starting to look into getting my first ww2 bike with the aim of using it regularly.

Currently ride the Norton 650ss as a daily.

hi all,

I am rebuilding a  ES2 - Roadholder forks.

I have found that the bike came with long Roadholder forks.

I’ve had a few garage hours this afternoon and did some work on the nav I’m building from a box of bits. This mostly involved searching out the best front frame member to use.

Just a BIG thank you to the Shop “elves” this Christmas!
