Hello fellow Nortonists--it is some months  since I did anything to the Navigator project, work and having the heads off two other bikes etc,

bit of help needed here.....

in an attempt to try and get the primary side back to good condition I noticed that I had very irregular stator clearance, one side had .05mm and the opposite was more like .8.

wishing you all a Merry Christmas and all the Best for 2019

For those members wishing to enjoy a little happier news to end this year on.............the 2019 Vintage Motor Cycle Club  calendar contains no less than three pictures/photographs of Norton motorcycles.

Frame assemblies for Norton Jubilee NOC shop £30 pound. Ebay £750.00 Probably miss print.

In the 1961-62 parts list in the centre stand section on page 43 I've found the items «17591 Rubber stop» and «E5278 Pin for stop».

Somebody outthere knows those items?

I have a 1971 Roadster. My question- the quick release rear wheel.

Since the introduction of the new website I can no longer open the archived Roadholder magazines on my iMac. A new tab says ' 403 Forbidden ' .

I wrote to the webmaster but so far I have not had a response.

I have only just become aware of this action.   Rather than support this action by buying spares I would Mothball the bike and turn to another make. I would hope that the parts distributors who buy from ANIL  would  talk some sense into them.

Hi I’m having a bit of trouble removing the crankshaft half pinion on my ‘52 Dommie 7.  I can’t get a gear puller on it due to the inset into the case.

Has anyone got any recommended contacts for a reliable outfit for chroming and painting Norton parts in the NW of England? Live near Blackpool but don't mind travelling a bit.   

Not sure if this will be of use to anyone...

Hello After reading the Norton models history , we have the racing history thrown in for good measure , the Norton history on racing should be on a separate page to make things more interesting and how Norton stood alone against the japanese racin

Looking for a supplier of brake/clutch cable as per the picture, cloth type with red spiral stripe.

I have completely stripped (every part taken out and separated) my 1961 ES2  (Featherbed Frame). Every part repainted, plated or chromed.

The oil pumps on offer from Andover Norton are the Commando pump.  It's the same as a Dominator one, but different.  The pressure and scavenge gears are wider (not sure how much by) - so how does that affect oil pressure, especially hot, and the s

I am considering fitting a sidestand to my 1956 Dominator 99 and would appreciate any advice as to the best make and fitting .

Good evening,

i am searching for a folding kickstart lever which unblocks the gear change of the rearset shown

in the attached picture.

Does someone know a good source?

best regards

I would like to try and trace the history of the Mk 3 850 bike I have as far back as I can.  From what I can gather factory records were sketchy or non existent. The bike was exported to USA in October/November 1974 then distributed it to wherever

This tome was reviewed in the December Roadholder, priced at £50 to £60.

If anyone cares I'll jump in here......

If you ask me I liked the "old" site better.

This new site is waaaayyyy to busy with too many choices, etc.

I am not sure why the change was made.

I bought a Jubilee in bits 18 months ago. The bike had lots of parts missing e.g. seat, all of the tin ware, headlamp, mudguards, exhausts and downpipes, toolbox, etc. Even one piston was missing.

Generally speaking it looks good and dare I say quite modern. Everything seems to work as advertised. Nice and simple/intuitive to use and generally a good job well done. Only time will tell if it goes down well.

I got home from the Oxford branch meeting to watch my recording.

I thought it was OK. He covered most of the important events and bikes in the 50 minutes time he had.

I was about to put the cylinders back on my 71 roadster and noticed these screws had been safety wired (see attached). Was this done at the factory? It's not a problem, I'm just curious.

Hi all,

Good evening Gentlemen,A simple question I have started the rebuild of my 1955 Dominator 99 and had removed the old swing arm bushes, had the frame powder coated and have the new bushes ready to go but do I need to have the new bushes machine pres

What is everyone using for seals on the pushrod tubes at that rocker box?
