I have finally managed to prove that trouble always comes in bundles of 3s.

In the last 3 weeks the whole of my Norton Bike Collection (3 bikes) has been sidelined by fuel tank problems.

I have seen several times, at the Begonia rally, a Dominator fitted with a very smart vynal tank cover. Does anyone know who made this item, and, is it still in production? So far, an internet search has revealed nothing similar.

My chronometric is playing up and will need sending off for repair. In the meantime I shall use a small cycle gps speedo. Does anyone know the legal position for this? It gives accurate speed though is not permanently attached.

I would grateful for a little guidance on how the chaincase oil is kept in at the gearbox .

Well I ate some 'Humble-Pie' and returned to Stafford despite previously saying that Mr Morton would have to survive without my entrance fee.

I recently had an issue with my 1977 850 Commando MK3. The solid state regulator/rectifier overcharged the battery when hot.

Can anyone recommend a painter in the Lincs / Notts area who can do the candy colours, in particular candy apple red ? My current side panels have the stripes the wrong way around and its time to put it right.

I have just read our National Chairmans recent remarks regarding Anna's situation. Tim's statement completes and concludes the subject.

There is nothing more to be said,

My 650SS has not only got a bad wet sumping problem, when the crank case fills with oil it passes the drive side oil seal and ends up in the primary chain case.

I am about to manufacture a new wiring harness for my Navigator.

I used the diagram by Tony Ripley an altered it from Electra to Navigator. ( without electric starter)

How do I wire the Wipac light switch?

There have been various posts on this subject, but little reliable information. If the quality is as bad as some suggest, what is the alternative? There seems to be no UK stockist, for a wideline Dominator tank.

After a couple of weeks fault finding, research and waiting for parts to arrive I have managed to get the magneto working and so got my Dommi to start.
