Second question on 750 Atlas/N16CS engine (there's bound to be more)
Camshaft from engine is excellent and marked HC 7014 and all I can find on internet is vague reference to it being "drag profile"
Can anyone identify it ?

I am striping a 750 Atlas engine (actually from N15CS) and everything is in excellent condition which make me think it has been rebuilt. However looking at the crank flywheel nuts and bolts something looks odd.

Not looked at these before , so a few questions , is the 7/8 center  handlebar lever of benefit ?.does it use different clutch springs to a later amc clutch ?

Hi Does anyone know the length of the original valves for these early Moore CS1s?

I have seen short and long spring sets by Paul Norman for these.

I have recently bought a new (2024) Commando 961 SP. I would like to be able to put it onto paddock stands so that a) I don't leave the bike resting on it's tyres when it's not in use, b) clean and oil the chain.

Does anyone know of a reliable info/data source for the post-war Big 4 engines?  Having learnt enough on the 16H's (current bike is now running superbly - see recent carb conversation) I decided to expand my SV experience to the big brother.  

Does anyone know of any firms that can safely and effectively remove rust from a petrol tank and re-seal it?

Could anyone with a plunger framed Model 7 (or ES2) post a detail photo of the solo Lycett saddle nose?  I have a "replica" Lycett saddle of Asian origin, and need to fabricate the forward pivot mount to the frame, but I don't have dimensions or a

Hi all.

Extracted from an interesting article featuring an interview with Norton’s new Executive Director, Richard Arnold, a former CEO of Manchester United having spent 16 years there.

It has been reported in the news that the people scammed by Garner in the Norton Pension fund scandal are finally to get their money back from the Fraud Compensation Fund.

What is the difference between slim line and wide line frames. What apart from length are the differences between long and short roadhouse forks and what models used the different frames and forks.

Hi there, 

I have seen conflicting information on oil quantity for the long roadholders, both from factory sources.
The factory Maintenance and Instruction Manual quotes 1/4 pint [142cc].

Hello All

I have just rejoined the club after an absence of 30 years or so.  i have a lot to mention so apologise for the length of this. 

I am building a 1950 model 7 from a "basket case".  I know they were spec'ed at 6.7:1 compression ratio for the poor quality post war fuel available back then.  My question is what compression ratio is suitable for modern American non-ethanol 91 o

Is it normal for the gearbox magnet to look like a shaving brush?  This is after 1000 miles. The oil looks as clean as the day it went in.

My 650ss bitsa bike and I have been on a bit of a journey since I picked her up in January. OK It hadn't run for 40 years beforehand but I had hoped for some sort of progress. 

After the battery went flat again (had been more than  a month since this happened before), I decided to overhaul the connections in the charging system as a first step.

Is this a thing with lightweights?
I can hear the primary chain "walking" around the sprockets.   Most noticeable at 30 - 35 mph in top gear.

Hi, Just purchased Norton Commando Mk3, which was deliver this week, and looks great (1976, Cherry red, roadster).

Hi, Are the heads of the bolts holding the stays to the mudguard domed or flat. 
On a 1960 '99. The ones on there at the moment look like replacements, they are black with raised writing.
Cheers.

The back seam on my Dominator 99 is weeping. Can you please recommend a firm to repair it, ideally within 100 miles or so of Salisbury where I live so I can take it there. Would just lining it be a possible long term solution?

I am looking to register a Norton Model 99 Deluxe manufactured late 1959 it has a Northamptonshire registration of URP 703. URP was issued around the end of 1959/early 1960.

Dear all,

Not sure if this is covered elsewhere but I am puzzled about sealing my petrol tank to take care of the E5/10 petrol we have nowadays. My tank was checked and sealed 20 years ago, when petrol was petrol.

New to NOC, New to Norton. New to Electra. I am fast discovering that there don't seem to be great sources for Electra parts other than tune-up parts and a few other bits.  This is compounded doubly in USA.

Very little info on this.  I'm guessing 25 amp in live feed from battery to just protect the wiring and possibly a seperate 10 for the hooter?.
