Looking for a spare part for my 1956 Dominator lay down gearbox can anybody help as I know spares are a bit hard to get hold of.

Hi everyone,

After several months as time permitted I have completed assembly of my 1938 model 18 jigsaw puzzle. Managed to acquire many of the missing bits but one area has me stumped.

The recent additional photos now seem to show Commandos in abundance; about at least 70% of all the photos I reckon.

Hi all,

1977 MKIII Commando. New ignition warning light, with full volts going in but only approx 6.5V to earth through brown/white cable and no illumination. Connect light direct to earth and bingo, lights up. According to manual Ass. Unit is suspect.

A born worrier, I find myself looking at the oil temperaturein the AJS/Matchlesstype pear shaped oil tank on the side of my N15CS. I initially thought the oil warmed up quickly, by checkingwith myhand how hot it got on the front tankface.

Rebuilding my Navigator, head off to reveal scored bores so off to get rebored and new pistons etc. Looking at the followers and bushes I was surprised to see how slack they are, any one know what kind of fit to expect.

Hi all

Hello all,

Recon mag from Paul Wolf fitted.

New HT lead, new NGK A8 spark plug, new carb slide / jets and fuel.

Valve clearances checked and adjusted.

Valve timing checked and adjusted.

has anyone any experience/opinion on the topic of how you get a Bluetooth capable m/c sat/nav to audibly function properly? Hating motorway work as I do ,i have always done it the old fashioned way.

My ES2 is fitted with lever operated ball valve petrol cocks. Problem is that one of them leaks through the operating spindle. Any advice on a good quality tap that will fit the bike?

Went to fit my throttle cables after ripping my darn finger nail off haha

for the amal concentric's doesn't fit the throttle tube thats on the bike

whats everyones fav type/ what should be on the 650ss?

Found these Norton boots on the internet while looking for shoes. Too small for me but may be of use to someone, at £75 cant be bad.. https://www.clarksoutlet.co.uk/p/261031057

For years I fiddled with the 99 brake to try to give it some BITE, Then I read that Nortons said to bore out the plate 1/32" to allow to centralise , This made no difference so I decided to bore a bit more. Scrap one plate!.

Hi,

Can anyone please advise on the foolowing query?

I'm suffering from an extremely slack timing chain. The good book shows a lovely drawing of how easy it is to adjust the position of the magneto plate. Problem is it's totally inaccessible.
