Hi, do any of our American members remember owning 1973 750 Norton Commando engine no. 220507? if so, if you can let me know any history or stories associated with this bike I'd be delighted.

Got in the mail today.

Hello,

has anyone the colour code of a modern colour ( like BMW 123) matching the Norton Silver used on Dominator Twins?

thank you for your help in here

I feel it prudent to send thanks to the NOC for their assistance, and many spares, in helping me rebuild my 1957 Dominator 99 over the last three years after 49 years stored in various boxes.

I need a tank and side panel re spray including logos...South West based.....any recommendations please?

Your Xmas challenge ! 

Hi, just a note to dispel the unreliability myth that hangs over old bikes.

I had the great pleasure of meeting up with an old buddy from about thirty years ago thanks to my joining the NOC again. I visited Gordon a few Sundays ago and was delighted to find out he was still immersed in old bikes.

Hi all, I bought a 73 Commando, my 5th Norton, matching engine, frame and gearbox numbers 220570. It was brought back into this country in '83 from, I presume, the US. Black barrels, head has H 6 teaped into it.

Does anyone know of a supplier that does the 7 inch spindles at a reasonable price, it doesn’t have to be stainless, the 7 3/8 ones seem more readily available, I’m trying to avoid paying £50+

Thanks for your help on my previous post about the kickstart on my Electra. I have the shaft out but can't find a replacement anywhere, the NOC site shows the part but it is out of stock.

Does anyone know where I can obtain one?

Hi , can anyone tell me if the two wires that connect to the Lucas magdyno have a soldered connection or is it crimped ?

hi what is the biggest tyre you can fit on the rear wheel of a domi 99 using a stock swing arm and hub 

cheers rob 

hi all new to the site ive picked up from an old a barn a 1958  domi that a want to rebuild i dont want to go stock i want to put my own take on it for me to ride  i was looking for some advise on engine and clutch upgrades and whats availible 

My Indian repo front and rear fenders are OK-ish but not entirely satisfactory for plunger Model 7. They lack the nice details on side of the fenders.

Managed to buy an eBay rear fender, chain guard unit in Oz recently.

Anyone go today? There was lots of Norton stuff, I picked up what looks like a very reasonable nicely reconditioned lay down box which I need for my 55 ES2, which frees up the  AMC box for my Metisse project.

Hi all,

Hi,

I need to remove the clutch basket on my '37 16H. I haven't got the extractor reccommended for the 16H but wondering if the AMC one in the club spares list would do ?

often hurts, Censorship is a offensive imho, been a member for almost 40 years, through the dark times and this is the worst period I remember 

The manual says to have a little patience fitting the forks, no kidding! I’ve lost count of how many balls I’ve picked up!  I’m going to try it with the front member off the bike, failing that has anyone found any tapered bearings that fit?
