Hi all. I am new to this so bear that in mind

About to re new the valve guides in the R4 Cyl Head I have. Have I read that these heads are prone to cracking around the inlet guide area when removing or installing guides.

looking into my gearbox without any cogs i focused in on the cam plate when i rotate it its buckled about 2mm, ish. would it straighten up or is it a case of just renewing it .

just wondering, is les still on the site haven't seen any messages lately.

i built up a 1956-Norton, moted it [altough it doesn't need one] did a Norton- Owners -Club- Factory-Record .. tried Dvla but no record of last-reg..[ the bike is a 1956-Dommie -99- Scottish- bike,, so not an import..] DVLA.

I have recently purchased a 57 88 for restoration here in California and I've been trying to discover the original colour. The frame is black with the optional chrome mudguards - No sign of polychromatic grey.

Does anyone have any knowledge/experience of the Oberon replacement clutch slave?

Will the club have a stand and if so will they want members to display bikes or only Commando's?.

I'm still having issues with spark plugs failing since the engine rebuild which I can't seem to resolve.

Good evening everybody

I'm in the process of a complete rebuild of a 1972 commando roadster combat. It is now close to finished but I can't seem to find any information on fitting a chain slider to the swing arm on the primary side.

Afternoon everyone,

Hi all. My fairly uninteresting questions go on unabated! I am told that the Roadholder forks fitted to my 1968 Atlas are not standard as they have the bellows type rubber gaiters fitted.

Can any kind person please advise me on the correct colour of the Norton decals on the petrol tank and the decals on the side panels on a blue 1973 850 mk1 Commando? Should they be silver?? Also what colour should the pinstripe on the tank be?

Hello all,

I have a friend restoring a 1970 "S" Commando & is in need of a rear mudguard. It seems to be unique in that it has a dent for tire pump clearance. The part number is 06.1402.
