I recently obtained a pair of Dunlop alloy rims WM2 X 19 and WM1 X 19. I was told they are correct for a early 1950s 350 Manx. Can anyone confirm these sizes?

Hi all, just became the custodian of a 1939 16H. It is in fair nick, starts, but petters out, so will clean carb and jets. Was wondering has anyone added this oil conditioner to engine oil or gear box.

Hello all

There is a fair amount of variation in the dimensions of the downward-pointing cylinder head studs - part no. 067885 (NM24389) - available from suppliers.

My 99 with its single mono starts well , runs fine and ticks over nicely when warmed up, it does behave strangely for the first few minuits when cold when if exhibits all the symptons of rich running.

The first owner of a 1971 Commando ELP709J is hoping to trace it. He would like to speak to the current owner etc. I am uncertain if he wants to try and buy it incidentally. It is currently on the DVLA computer and is taxed, MOT'dand insured.

I've seen a few different companys offering belt drive kits,

I'm after a complete set up for my 650SS, can someone suggest which is the best kit to buy? One that will fit within the standard cover (happy to modify if required)

I have a group of friends who are rebuilding a variety of Commando,s 750,s & 850,s. We are trying to get the correct thickness of the headlight spacers 06-2035.

Nice to see a Seeley Norton on the back cover, despite looking decidedly un Norton, maybe the XSeeley on the tank is a clue?

Hello, I just recently brought a dominator 88. It's a 1954 frame running what I can work out as a 1961 engine. The previous owner said the engine was built/modified by a Fred Barlow.

Hi,

I am just trying to piece together the numbers on my Commando.

I noticed in a feature of the October edition of Roadholder barrel-shaped Superblend bearings get a mention.

Does the club still sell those laser cut commando exhaust clamp spanners?I looked at the spares section but could not find them.Any ideas?Thanks - Paul.

My 51 ES2 is missing the right side pillion peg mounting lug; called the "B4/686 Frame pillion footrest lug". See page 69 of the Norton Spare Parts List, bottom of Plate Y.

Like a few here I am sure, my bike sits unused for lengthy periods. Unsurprisingly it starts best with a fully charged battery, so occasionally needs a short charge before use.

Just got my copy of the excellent Roadholder, bit dismayed about the picture on the rear cover stating that the bike is Serge Deret's Seeley Norton.

In fact it is Laurent Delattre's Seeley Yamaha!

Regards

Roger
