As the owner of a 1959 Dommie 99, I was wondering, due to the demise of Castrolite, what is the modern equivalent. Ifound motorcycle/scooter fork oil(5W30) on Halfords web site, does anybody have any recomendations.

Could anyone help me source a wiring loom for my 1956 ES2, I have seen one advertised on EBAY for a Mod 7 and 77, I also have a 1957 Model 77 and would think it is the same but would be very grateful for any advice

Thanks

Hi,

I plan to purchase 1963 Norton Slimline and cofused with the engine number which read as 88/105440/P. This is something new to me as owner of Norton Model 7 & Wideline which has different format of numberings.

I've just cleaned out around two inches of sludge out of the oil tank. Now I'm thinking that the engine may benefit from an angine flush. Has anyone done this before?

My cables never seem to be as tidy as I think they should be.

I think it would be brilliant if the new Norton Motorcycle Company made a 961 along the lines of the old JPN.

I might even put my hands in my pocket for one of those

Is it possible for a newwiring loom to be faulty! After restoring both a Jubillee and an Electra with new looms and Boyer ignition I still have problems. The Jubilee works fine not so the Electra.

I have not recieved this months Roadholder and I know some people have got theirs.

Is anybody else still waiting?

for years I have had a leak free primary due to the liberal use of silicone sealer between the rubber and case inner.After some repairs to the drive I found myself really struggling with cleaning off the silicone from the inner case.

According to the awards listed for the 2015 Shepton Mallet show, (link on NOC newss website)Bristol NOC Branch DID win the award for 'Best stand at show' That makes it three in a row for them.

Evening All,

I have removed my primary chain case cover and want to get to the backfire device? How do I get the bike in gear so i can undo rotor nut or do i have to put it all back together place in gear then take apart again?
