Hi,

Anyone got any recommendations for a better than average pair of Rear shocks for a Norton Wideline?

Dimensions would help too as my frame isn't at home at the moment to measure!

Thanks

Cheers

Does anyone know the thread type and nut size for the foot rest bar on late Jubilee? This is the hexagon profile bar that passes through the frame and holds the foot rests.

Hi,

Hello, Ineed a pair of rebound springs, the screw in clevis's, and a main spring for my 1946 girders. can anyone point me in the right direction? The nearest Ive found are a rebound spring kit from "racing Norton".

Rex McCandless was the engineer who developed the Norton 500T and also the featherbed frame.

Hello All,

Ive just bought a 1967 SS650 which is in a pretty odd state. It has many new parts

including a wiring loom which is not connected. It has a headlamp shell with

Hello people,

Hi All,

I think whoever designed the centre stand currently available from AN and RGM â they look the same to me, and may be available elsewhere â was either wearing wooden clogs when they tried it, or didn't try it at all.

Hello, is it possible to obtain the dimensions for making a 1/2 speed support for use when adjusting the timing chain on a commando? I would much rather cut up a chunk of aluminum plate than a timing cover!

Thanks,

Has anyone used one of the harnesses sold in the NOC shop? Any good?

Hi, I installed +20 GPM pistons during a rebuild of my 650ss 6000 miles ago (the bike ran very well). When I installed them I found that the piston skirts were long enough to touch the flywheel on the bottom stroke.

So I went out for a spin on my MK2A one afternoon recently, 40 miles or so, to a beauty spot and back. After a cigarette and a slurp of water at the beauty spot, I went to get back on the bike and noticed the tail and brake lights had failed.

I came across this site:

Hi

I have recently been handed a Norton Dominator 650ss.

I am not up to speed on all the terminology like Slimline or Wideline Featherbed.

I got some issues with my NOC spares clutch cable.

I am recommissioning my bike after a long lay-off. A very, VERY prolonged engine rebuild. The tyres are TT 100s, now 34 years old. They have to be replaced. What tyres work best with the featherbed frame?

were crash bars supplied and fitted to these bikes back in the day? Quite fancy a pair on my bike does anyone have any ideas on getting hold of them?

Be grateful if someone could identify the purpose of the marked threaded attachment just behind the cam chain cover on this 1936 model 18. I've not had it running yet and the machine came with nothing attached here.

I have offered to help a chap get his 1926 Panthette 250 v twin running. He has no literature on the bike at all - timing ignition etc. Does anyone have an idea where I might look?

I see these are available again! They weren't when I last looked, earlier this year ... Maybe someone noticed!

Hi, I've been considering buying a 961 for some time now and have seen a second hand 2017 Euro 3 model, complete with dual seat option, for sale. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to whether a Euro 4 model would be a better bet.

Now here's an interesting coincidence. Back in Sept when I taxed my Wasp outfit on-line I was disappointed to find that I had to pay for it. There did not seem to be a link anywhere to 'historic class' despite it being a 1973 bike.
