Good evening

I am restoring a Gus Kuhn Commando

I am looking for a photo of the headlight and fairing bracket, as the bike i have has lost the bracket. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks Roy

The one on my ES2 (laydown box) was cracked so I got a new one from NOC spares - good quick service.

Hi when we met up at the wharf I said I'd find the details of where I got my tank pad. It's from a company called 2nd skin autographics. Great quality product.

Hello all members as our Norton are now hitting higher values the insurance companies now are wanting accurate valuation So would it good for this club to appoint its own Norton motorcycle valuer as our machines are now getting even rarer a

I was able to find an original Navigator seat. It needs a new cover.

Is this style of fabric on top still available?

Back of the seat is covered with tape.

Hi to all - looking for input on this from those more well versed than I.

Is this colour original, itâs on the swinging arm of a pre featherbed model.

I cant see how to remove the advance -retard unit on my navigator, it seems to be stuck on somehow, any advice on removing this unit please.

Thanks..Bob..

I need a speedo for my navigator.It's the type that fits in the headlamp.

Where could a gent purchase one?

Or does somebody have one to sell?

Even if not working as I could get it refurbed.

Brake shoes are manufactured by Ferrodo, EBC and Emgo. Which do brake best?

Im trying to build a bike from bits but I donât have any mounting bolts (except gearbox upper mounting) does anyone have a list of the bolt sizes and threads so I can procure them?

Cheers

I went to remove the crankcase drain bolt on the Right side but ran into a snag.

it seems a socket will not fit due to the tight clearance between nut & frame. The slot has been increased over the years.

Ihave aBB mk 3 on a ES2 recently purchased whichwill notstart.

With the bike on its centre stand (rear wheel off the deck) and in neutral, the wheel can be turned easily.

If I then pull the clutch in - still in neutral - the wheel becomes much more difficult to turn.

Any clues what's wrong?

Not sure if the oil pump on my Navigator is up to scratch. Actually I know it isn't because the bike wet sumps after only a few days; what I don't know is how serious it is.

About 15 years aho the club unveiled a blue plaque at the Norton factory in Brace Bridge Street.

Does anybody know where the plaque is now?

Hi.

I would like to restore my fathers Dominator 99. It has been in a shed for over 30 years but most parts are there, though perhaps in less than perfect condition.

Any suggestions welcome on security when leaving our Bikes for short periods unattended .

Just wondering whether there's any consensus on using additives to compensate for the use of unleaded fuel.

I need a new 42 tooth brake drum / sprocket as the teeth on mine are worn and I dont want to really put my new chain and gearbox spkt with it.

Hi to all - I have recently rejoined after a a few years away . I am across the pond as may be assumed by the spelling of " tire ".

Got asbestos shoes....a nice pair. Cleaned drum carefully with brake cleaner. It stops worse than before! I see the old vintage shoe had slight decreased circumference on the top and bottom of each shoe end.

Hi folks

Different texts seem to have different info.

I have 3 books with clearances ranging from .002 inlet - .003 exhaust, right up to.006 inlet - .008 exhaust.

On my 38 Es2 , I tried to drain the oil and discovered the bolt head was rounded. Once off I had the tank flushed ( grungy )

Now I need to replace the Tank drain bolt.

What is the correct size that I need and who sells them ?

For the last couple of 30 mile trips I've found that the gears were hard to engage especially 2nd for some reason.

If I'm reading the wiring diagram correctly (55 ES2) the horn circuit goes up to, but does not pass through, the ammeter. Mine deflects to negative when the horn button is pushed. What's the routine for sussing this out?

Hello, i used to spray my bike with ACF50 which is good stuff just to protect the electrics / frame ect .
