Hi,

I wanted conformation on the number of fins a Norton 500 International barrel has, I am restoring a 1932 and the barrel has 9 fins but the later inter barrel I have has 8 fins.

My Pre-War ES2 has the small pipes going into the head to lube the valve guides as most of you would know already.My question is,does the pipe go into the hole in the guide itself or does it sit outside the hole relying on the oil to find its way

Hello Everyone

I have a 1955 Dominator 88, and wanted to add a rev counter, so I recently bought a timing cover from a 650 SS which has the little rugby-ball-shaped boss to take the rev counter drive.

Hi Everyone. I am almost there with the rebuild of my dads Norton ES2 1948. Everything is fitted back together now and I plan on testing the bike first before fitting the new petrol tank.

There is a company that produce abrasives, grinding wheels, emery cloth etc. that goes by the name Norton. I'm guessing it's something to do with them rather than a bit of motorbike.

Hi

Have looked at plug fitment charts and still not sure what to fit. Lodge and KLG plugs seem hard to source. Is the NGK B10ES my best hope? Machine used for club type runs at moderate speeds. What are other members fitting?

I'm trying to fab a rear tank mount for my '48 Inter with a standard tank but am unsure of the vertical offset from the frame mounting point. It appears to me from some photos that I've seen online that the is no offset on the right side.

Having never been round the new factory at Donington, could the picture be of 961 engines being assembled in the new Government referendum brochure ?.............I suppose it was very similar at Bracebridge St when my model 50 was made in 1960....

Hi All,

Hello

I have just replaced the antiquated Lucas turn signal flasher with a solid state one that works with either + or - earth systems.

after a long wait, I finally got my ES2 running this afternoon ..... Hooray! it was delayed slightly by my timing that assumed the mag was fully advanced when the cable was tight!

Hello

I have two vertical gearboxes identified as A and B below. I have a rigid frame ES2 I would like to insert one of these gearboxes into. I am reaching out to the global Norton community for help and a question.

For all those that require their 961's serviced I cannot recommend George and his team from Krazy Horse high enough. They went out of their way to resolve some problems and fit my bike in to an already busy schedule.

Have just completed converting my '74 Commando MK IIa's useless OEM Lockheed front brake system to one from a '96 Kawasaki 600R.

Now my Commando stops as well as goes !

Well, I've just bitten the bullet & bought an electronic tach to replace my completely cream-crackered ornament. I am now looking at the pretty installation picture & realize I have no clue as to how to connect!

Hi everyone its me again. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue with a new voltage regulator. The new one I have got which was from the vintage motorcycle club seems to be larger than the original it is replacing.

Does anyone know where I can get a decent tailtidy for my 961 Commando?

Craigslist aberdeen scotland seems to have a lot of Norton international parts and engines for sale is this possibly true, or just a remote location for "send me money for shipping scams". martin links below refer

I've just been trying to set the timing on my ES2 but am not a mag expert and have come across an issue that I am unsure of, when the engine is locked and won't turn it is possible to turn the end of the armature that the points sit on about 20 de

Hey,
