I filled my newly restored 1964 Jubilee forks with oil today using 75cc of SAE30 fork oil in each fork leg. Despite pumping the forks several times there is no apparent damping whatsoever!

The fork seals are new and the bushes look OK.

Chaps, having got the Navigator running happily I am reminded of my carefree teenage years by the evocative 'inlet roar' of an open mouthed Amal carb.

Hello all who is going to the War Inn on Sunday think we should get a good turn out

I've rebuilt the Norton dynamo, but the brushes seemed fine so I reused them. The commutator was oily but has cleaned up nicely.

Hi,

Can anyone recommend an engineer who can carry out the Combat mods in Hampshire and any idea of the cost?

The only one I can think of would be Norman White but are there others?

How do I recognise genuine 500t fork yokes from other roadholders fork yokes?. I have acquired a basket case project, substantially complete but missing mud guards and tool box.

I live near Glasgow and have problems with the starter (completely dead) and also running problems with my 1976 Commando. Can anyone recommend a decent chap or mechanic that could help solve problem?

Hi, after a 38 Year absence I,m happy to be back in the club and ready to start restoration of a sadly neglected Commando. Just a couple of quick questions with regard to some of the parts I have and not sure about.

Present-day engines, I understand, use seals that are simply a tight push-fit on the outer diameter of the guide.

This 1961 ES2 I have recently bought, has an alternator with two adjacent coils (of the total of 6) with fine windings and many turns. The remaining 4 coils have thicker wire and fewer turns.

Hi,

I have attached sheet one of the modified circuit diagram for my 850 MkIII. Sheet two to follow.

100 miles on the 16H today. Fun to ride but after severe cramp (not for the first time) I wonder...does anyone have a tidy way to lift the seat.? I'm thinking at least two inches.

Can anyone supply original metal line fuel lines for the 1949 ES-2 or have them made up at whatever the cost will be? All that little bling stuff adds up to a nice looking bike.

I look for dÃ?sespÃ?ramment a resistance white porcelain roadbed, that of the origin, NEW or in very good state.

Hello, cleaning up my old Navigator tank to prep for paint, the inside has a coating that looks like a green varnish, it is scratched so needs to be removed and replaced with some new gunge. Trouble is I have not come across a green tank sealant.

Iâve been very pleased since fitting a 34mm Mikuni to my â71 Commando, and recently discovered that itâs touted as a fit for the Atlas. Has anyone tried it? There isnât a lot of spare room behind the head, barely enough for the stock air box.

Hello,

Here is some travel information for Rally attendees:

If you go to Red Bull Racing Circuit by bike you have to ride about 1300 km starting from Calais (France) or about 1000 km if you start from Rotterdam (Netherlands).

I don't wish to sound ungrateful but...

So I'm getting ready to tackle the job of splitting my Electra's crankcase.

I've read through the process and think I need 3, maybe 4 extractors to successfully pull everything apart?

Hi all, can anyone help with a source for Navigator rear brake shoes or a quick, reliable relining service, preferably in the Somerset area?

Did the rolling 40 year MOT exemption start? Nothing on the interweb about it.

1958 Norton Dominator tank has had a leak since my friend had it restored. Twice in my ownership it has been to "experts" for repair followed by a repaint.

Hi Guys, firstly I'd like to thanks those that have provided help on this site and the folks at Andover Norton for additional support and parts.
