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?

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?
The engine is now apart (at last) and it looks like it suffered some fairly catastrophic events in its previous life. The camshaft has some pitting on the faces of the lobes (please see photos attached).
Hi all, this may be a dumb question but I've just bought a Commando 961 Street and was told that there is a trickle charger plug built in to the harness. Does anyone know where this is as I can't find it?
Has any one seen this ? I am intrigued - I would ask the seller but he has quite clearly stated that he only wants to answer questions from genuine buyers , which I am not .
Hi all, first post as I only recently acquired my Mk 3 850. It has a few issues so getting to these one at a time, a couple of questions if I may?
I’m trying to remove the half time pinion from the timing side of my Domi 99 but it’s so tight on the crankshaft nose that I can’t slide it off.
My 1955 Model 88 main lighting switch gives me parking + instrument light, and headlamp + instrument + tail lamp. Is this correct wiring? If not, how should I rewire the lighting switch?

Sorry all, but due to circumstances beyond my control, the May 2019 Roadholder dispatch from the printers has been delayed such that you may not receive your copies until next week (w/c 6th May).
Does anyone know how many different covers there are? I have a late type with the three bolt mounting fitted to my ES2, I wanted to swap it with an original type so I can fit a mag dynamo,.
