I've had an anti drain valve on my Commando for ages with no problems at all and thinking about fitting one to my 19S (1956).  As the bike is used infrequently it's a nuisance to drain the crankcase before every ride, and I like the "fit and forge

I have been given a Honda VFR 1000 firestorm ve twin  which I have to collect . This will be my first non classic bike !.

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience/advice on converting spigoted barrels to spigot-less?

Just received the latest Roadholder Magazine and had a moment!

It comes in a polylope of course.

I think the battery of my '64 Jubilee has died as it is not holding charge when off the bike and with nothing connected to it.

Does anyone use a torque wrench to tighten the engine sprocket and clutch basket? If so what should i tighten it to on my '35 Es2?  Be nice to have some idea instead of just guessing as I usually do. Many thanks .

Can anybody tell me the part number for the clutch nut on an 1960 jubilee, there seems to be several on the noc shop site?

Does anyone know where l can get a full set of stainless studs bolts etc for a 1934 16H engine to frame fastenings

Thans to the Norton Club Holland for a beautiful rally. Many interesting events, and unusual bikes.  On this subject, I would be interested in learning more about the Klapton! Could we hope for an article in the Roadholder, for instance?

Can anyone tell me what the cable adjuster thread is on '50s Norton main control cables?

Hi All,

In my efforts to match up a "pair" of carburettors I have come into posession of 2 carbs that are, on the face of things, physically the same.

great ride out last week, starting and charging well [thanks to Tony Cooper and A.O.] 

But he ride was spoilt by the clutch....worked fine to start with then gradually got more difficult to change gear, finding neutral was horrendous.

Hi, does anyone know is head with casting 06-0380 from a Combat motor?

Hi all

I have just bought a 1961 Norton jubilee delux, It needs to be registered but I can't find the frame number anywhere, I have looked as much as I can but hopefully someone can tell me where exactly to look.

Thanks Mark

I have recently obtained a reconditioned magneto for my 1954 Dominator 88

I received my new Electra head gasket today from NOC Spares and was surprised at its thickness and weight.  It is solid copper and weighs nearly four times my old one (210kg vs. 60 kg) and is about four times thicker.
