At last! Some time ago the NYC very kindly gave everyone free Commando 850 side panel stickers. Not owning a Commando I dithered on what to do with them. Today I found the answer!
My apologies!
Greetings,
See enclosed picture from my 1961 M-50.
I have lost the rubber 'waterproofing' cover from the combined ignition / lighting switch.
Are these available, if so from whom / where or is it a make it yourself job?
just a quick one to thank the guys from the Northants and Leicester branch for their invite and welcome at the meeting today - Wharf inn Welford.
Hi all -
I am preparing to replace valve guides in my 1972 manufacture Combat cylinder head.
What is the correct handlebar for the Roadster?

Mine now usually stops on the first page. Is it only happening to me? Ta.
Hi all
Has anyone had any issues ( melt down of the insulation) using new Lucas alternator stator and new rotor clearly marked as Lucas
starting to get some confidence since gearbox issues and have been getting some miles in .Due to years riding modern stuff I am still experiencing difficulty with brake and gearlever use .
I've just about finished fitting an Alton electric start to my 850 Mk1 Interstate - not easy with 46 years modifications to work round.
After fitting an experimental oil catch tank to the crankcase breather on my 1956 Dominator 99 to check on the amount of oil that drips out of the breather pipe, I intend to reposition the catch tank and fit a breather valve prior to the catch tan
I saw that Norton and John McGuinness are back on for the NW 200 which is nice, but I'm disappointed that they're going back to the Aprilia engine. My question, though, is why did Norton try to enter a 1200cc engine in a 1000cc event?
Ordered a pair of front wheel nuts in stainless steel for My 1959 jubilee from the N.O.C spares dept. . got some nuts that where the original part number apart from the number starting with SS for stainless steel.
Hi, I have just joined the club after buying my first Norton at the ripe old age of 62.
My single carb 650SS starts well enough from cold, and performs very well. I had the mag rebuilt in 2012.
I am currently using one of the NOC shop pattern Wipac 6 1/2" headlight reflectors and lens on the Navigator which while cheap and cheerful does not provide a good, focused headlight pattern, even with a high wattage conventional pre-focus bulb, t
I have a 1974 Commando do I need to use a capacitor at all? seems pointless if you have to use a battery to start the bike.
The Norton emblems on my Navigator petrol tank are in poor condition and need re-chroming but I am told they are made of Zamak and you can not strip the chrome with acid as it will damage the base metal.
Hi all,
Can someone remind me please how to get the bottom retaining bolt tight (oil damper tube bolt) in the fork slider?
Just clocked-up 500miles on my rebuilt Mercury. I have been allowing the revs to build slowly over this period and yesterday let it go to just shy of 5,000 rpm. Wow! Really starts to fly over about 4,000rpm.
I’ve read in a workshop manual (Haynes, Bacon or Norton - can’t remember which) that the intermediate pinion spindle should be a tight fit into its bore in the timing side crankcase and that heat is needed to remove it.
Hi recently experienced spark plug failure one cylinder on Navigator fitted with electronic ignition .Just got to thinking what could be the cause has anyone any views or experience that may link electronic ignition to such failure ?Thanks Hughi
Getting to the bottom of my basket of bits supposedly being components from a 1956 Dommie 99 when I came across these pictured items that I do not recognise. Can anybody help with identification?
Regards. Ron T.
Firstly, many thanks to all who gave me advice on cleaning my oil tank out.
The book enclosed with this month's Roadholder. Looks fascinating.....
When will the Factory Records Services be available again, as it still states not available until after the AGM?
