Hello all !

My name is Arne and I joined up yesterday.

I have been lurking and reading the forum for some time and have found it very interesting, sometimes very entertaining and sometimes very funny.

My m50 does not lift fully off the floor when on its centre stand. I have checked the frame rails for sign of crush damage but they are fine. The feet are good and the stand not bent yet it just about supports the bike on level ground.

Hello everyone,could anybody help me I've just bought a 1956 Norton dominator 99 it's a 1956 model but it has the chrome panels on the tank,I believe this came in 1957 so it would be the wrong type,I thought this machine should have the all chrome

One of my boys bought me some vintage style handlebar levers from India. They look pretty but are useless . Just about every aspect of the manufacture is wrong. They don't even match the sales pictures and would not pass an MOT.

i have a '77 Mk 3 commando and it goes very well, however I have oil leaks from my tacho drive on the front of the engine.

I thought that I would start this off.....

Other than Peace on Earth and Good Will Toward Men, what would be on your Christmas wish list:

Tonkin Tornado?

Brand new Mark III?

Some piece of unobtanium?

Hello some advice please to any of you experts out there,I currently own a 58 dominator 88 which I absoulty love,I'm thinking of purchasing a 56,dominator 99 to add to the collection,I was wondering what you all thought best to watch out for when

Having helped run another successful club which has a good magazine which the members still want delivered through their door I am fully aware how difficult it is to get copy.

I have just rebuilt my 1963 650 SS engine - it is back in the frame and ready to fire up.

There appears to be blue oil leaking from all of those Nortons in the picture carousel. It is pouring down my screen. Does the team recommend that I place a large drip tray under my screen?

Have a great Christmas everybody.

Dear all

Could someone please advise where the spell check has gone?on the message boards, or at least how to find it!........it would ceartanly help me! ha ha

Hello all,

Just finished the re-build of a '71 Commando so thought I note thecarb set up I found works.

What is the best method for cleaning Stainless Exhausts, obviously not the reddish/blue but other discolourisation - also not mud?

I have I just got poor metal?

Thanks Roger

Hi

Does anybody have a source for this part ?

My downpipe clip has fractured on the 16H and wondered if there are direct replacements.

Cheers

Hello forum,

My name is Ferdinand van den Boomen and I am new here.

I am restoring a 16H in Holland.

The question that I have is the following:

My ES2 has the classic setup of ball bearing in the steering head and I would like to convert it to tapered bearings. I did find them for featherbed frames but not for a 1948 ES2 with plunger frame (gardengate).

I have been racing a M40 Manx GP from 1939 during the last 4yrs on Belgium circuits and the bike needed lately some seriouis attention.

Has anyone fitted a fairing other than the mortgage one from Norton?

Thanks Roger

Does anyone know the correct length of speedo cable for a 1959 dominator

Hi guys

Does anyone know the fitted length of the valve springs on a late ES2 (58-62) I seem to have a weak exhaust spring but the valve seat doesn't seem too recessed.

I have the free length from Garratts book.

Cheers

It is probably my poor computer skills but I simply cannot access the online copies of the Roadholder.

Is this normal or am I missing something?

Thank you
