Hello,

Not sure if it's too early:

Sorry about the spelling ...seems once something has been uploaded on this Forum, it's impossible to edit or remove...

I have unfortunately upon inspection discovered that the master cylinder on my Mk2 Commando is unserviceable due to it at some stage having filled with water and rusted.

I'm having trouble finding the correct rear shocks for my 750 racer...

Good day chaps,

looking to get a pair of sweptback pipes like those in the picture, unfortunately Armours and Wassell pipes don't look like they kick up any where near as much as these.

Hi Folks,

I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but.......

Can you recommend me an Insurance company to cover my Norton Big 4 ?

I purchased 2 RGM belt drive kits for 2 X 1975 Norton MK III 850 electric start . The top of the belt is rubbing the starter sprocket on both bikes and cannot be adjusted to prevent this.

I'm recommissioning my ES2. Its currently fitted with an Armours seat from the '80s. Its quite servicable but fairly shapeless. I still have what I believe is the original pan so I was interested in having it rebuilt.

The fuel tank to my ES2 is tatty, in need of a re-spray.

As a recent convert to rotaries - an IP2 - I would be grateful for any views on oil. Having had a long term interest in rotaries I know that Shell Rotella was the recommended oil but is no longer available.

Hi,

Can anyone help me decide?

Should I use AM26 Roadriders 100/90 v19 or AM9 4.10 Roadrunners?

I have been using AM26 3.25 - 19 on my rigid Ariel and am happy with them, butit is a rather different type of machine.

Hi

Somewhere on this site I assume there is a write-up on making this conversion, but I have been unable to find it. If there is one then a pointer would be useful. If not then I have the following questions:

Hi, I am currently rebuilding a '61 jubilee deluxe to find the rear spindle is bent. I have a replacement although it is shorter that the original does anyone know the correct length or if there are two different lengths? Thanks

hi folks, I've just completed the tear down on my 1971 Commando 750SS Project and I'm trying to decide on should I powder coat the frame and black items, which is probably the superior option if quality is the primary concern.

Hi, could someone tell me the best way to remove the quadrant & cam oilite bushes from the dolls head G/box & also how to refit the new ones. Also what is the thread on the model 50 rocker box bolts. Just want to be sure!!

What cylinder compression should I be getting on a Mk2A Commando?

hi, I'm in the process of trying to restore an original 71 Commando SS and was wondering if anybody would be able to help me locate either new or used, model specific seat. Thanks and I appreciate any help you might be able to offer

Just got a large box of bits, roughly assembled, but no dual seat.

Does anyone have, or know of, a seat, or pattern for me please. Any other which is adaptable / close fit.

Hi,

Does any one have either a spare cylinder headcompression plug or know the thread size ?

Regards

Hello All

I have recently gained ownership of an ES2, which left the factory in 1957 (July) & according to the factory records sent directly to a 'Woodroffe in Morocco'.

Hi All

I really enjoyed the 2016 international rally in Italy and think everybody involved in the organisation did a wonderful job.

There is mention of the above, in the current edition of Roadholder.

I'm searchin for a stem mounted mirror with a convex glass, rectangular or round.

Any idea?

As I understand it, crankcase halves were machined as pairs and that they are marked as such by some means.

Hi. My twin leading brake doesn't work when it gets wet. I seem to remember this being a problem with my first Commando that's why I fitting a disc to it.
