I have a 1955 model ES2, exported new to the US and first registered in 1956. It has an 8" single-sided front brake drum with an aluminum alloy brake plate.

Can someone tell how the "edit" function work sin Messages? I realised I'd made a typo after posting my message so I clicked on "edit". My message came up in the text box so I amended the typo and Lo!

Any suggestions as to why my short roadholders are topping out and making a âclunkâ on full extension when rebounding after a bump or dropping into a pothole? Just looking for any suggestions to narrow it down before I investigate.

Can anyone identify the set screws (?) part no 23573 that should attach the cover plate to the headstock on my 1960 slimline frame?

I'm looking through some just-acquired literature for my just-acquired 1961 ES2 and if I'm reading it correctly the valve gear is oiled by gravity rather than a pump. Is that really right?

The straight handlbars on my bike are so low that the clutch and front brake cable routing is interfered with by the tops of the telescopic forks. In this position, after time, the outer casings of the cables get damaged.

Good morning all,

What forks can be fitted to a 1960 wide featherbed frame ?

Hi,

I have a '61 99 Dominator that I'm working on and I plan to replace the final drive chain. Is it mandatory to replace the final drive sprockets, gearbox and rear wheel,at the same time as I replace the chain?

cheers,

evening , when refurbishing fasteners, axles , shafts etc what do people replate with ? or do you ?

Hello Everybody,

does anyone get the drawing of the cast iron racing front hub assembly?

I'm a little lost with spacer, axle, because I just own the hub.

I will also be glad to get the spacers dimension to reproduce.

I have a 1959 Model 50. I have removed the outer gearbox cover in order to investigate why the clutch lever is not functioning correctly.

I've just done an 80 mile round trip and am convinced that the bike seems to have more vibration than normal. Not just the bars but also up through the seat/tank.

I've noticed that the left footrest differs from the right one. It's fitted whith a distance piece, so it couldn't interfere the rear brake rod.

Is this an original fitment?

It's a 650SS from 1966.

just putting my forks together on me featherbed frame new stauntions ect . noticed a twist in them when i looked from the top. i have seen the same twist before on another set of forks i had .

I'm finished with LEDs.

I've sourced some from a, for me until now, reputable web-shop.

BA9S, wedge bulbs and yellow BA15S. The wedge bulbs didn't last. After the first removement the contact wires are out of order.

My question is, would a clutch actuator lever from a dommi/atlas make my clutch easier to pull in.

Please no essays on clutch stack height. All my plates are good size.

well this arrived this a.m from N.O.C.

Lets hope the threads are better produced than the centre bolt.......it will work, but very shoddy!

Hi. I own a 1937 Model 18. I purchased the bike missing a rear drum brake torque arm. I have failed to try and source one so now i'm looking to see if any other arms from different manufactures will do the job.

My sons Atlas Has been fouling plugs with sticky brown shiney stuff (again). We thought we had this under control with buying the top grade esso which we are assured contains no eth.

On checking the cylinder head on my 1958 domi I noticed the oil return hole under the right hand inlet valve spring assembly has a small steel plug in it.

can anybody please help me with what the rear wheel fitting for a sidecar chassis looks like for a 1952 es2 plunger frame

Just putting together my Model 50 following a major rebuild - trying to get clutch working. There appears to be too little movement on the clutch push rod. I am wondering if I have misplaced something during the reassembly.
