I want to replace the OEM Lucas alternator on my '74 Commando MKIIa. Am considering the 3 phase SPARX kit. However before I move forward is anyone aware of a field excited alternator system that is available.
Prepping bike for run tomorrow, noticed fluid around the front brake lever pivot, more than a sheen, but definitely moist! Should I be overly concerned? (stock mk III disc with braided cables)
I'm finally restoring a 1968 Fastback that was a basket case I've had for years. The builder is experienced in British motorcycles but there's a cosmetic problem that's vexing me.
I am on my second new crank oil seal in the timing cover. The first disintegrated after forcing with a socket used as a drive. The original seal had practically fused in place and had to be scraped out bit by bit.
just been looking on the net but cant seem to find a recommended grade for my commando (1969 model but has been fitted with disc brake front end) , any recommendations much apprecaited
Sadly the 'new' key didn't work, but I suspect the lock barrel is seized anyway, as it exhibits no movement within the outer body at all.
Hi folks
Gearbox advice please.
I have just re-fit the front cover having just had it machined out for proper oil seals around the kick starter pawl and gearchange shaft, but now find myself unable to select any gears.
Hi Chaps...having lots of trouble with Armours exhaust pipes for said model in terms of alignment and fit. Anyone else had a hard time with these?
Hi All,
Possibly this has been done before, but I've been unable to find a suitable post here, so apologies if I'm beating the same old drum!
Please can anyone tell me the exact dimensions (including thread form) for the small screw that retains the valve-lifter spindle on an early, iron-head, ES2 engine.

I have been following, with interest the story of one mans rebuild of his Commando in the Roadholder. Now this is not a personal attack on him or anyone, and I'm sure that many have thought what I'm about to say, so these are my thoughts.
Hello everyone! Does anyone know the big end nuts tightening torque for a '48 ES2?
Can anyone confirm whether the speedo cable in the NOC shop noted as being for a "Chronometric Featherbed" will fit a '55 ES2? It's the correct length (57.5") but the past number (SS09 F2_H12) does not match the book part number of B2/552.
Tim Stockdale"s advice to check gearbox oil forGL-4/5" ness had me checking out the top shelf (not for the first time). As it happens the gear box oil was O.K but the 85/140 swinging arm oil was GL -5.
I have to confess to being a little baffled by the conclusion of the author of the letter on page 17, concluding that because Esso do not add ethanol to their super-unleaded fuel, apart from in Devon, Cornwall, Teeside and Scotland:- 'This means t
Anybody recognise what bike these long roadholders are for? I cant find anywhere a brake plate that uses that single stop. Its driving me mad!

I'm in need of a video or some instructions on how to lace wheels on a 74 commando; disc front and drum rear wheel. Fellow here wants over 350 pounds to do the job. From videos I've seen on you-tube it shouldn't be that difficult.
Does anybody know the correct thread size of the petrol tap hole in the tank, it's a 1974 interstate. I have measured the dia. But my thread gauges don't seem to match the thread on the old tap.
I am trying to make sense of a leak on the LH fork. On inspection there is no way of putting a box spanner up the leg as the manual shows. I guess someone in the past has tried to plug it up with something. So I am trying to get the fork out.

I have been wondering why on some dolls head gearboxes I have seen there is a small brass plate on on top of the gearchange mechanism cover.My 1935 ES2 hasn't got one and appears never having had one as there is no sign of any holes in this cover.
Hi everybody, I am about to start restoring my 1957 ES2, what I am not sure of is whether the rims should be all chrome or have painted centres, my two favourite reference books seem to contradict one another Bacon appears to say 55-56 for all chr
