Tsk, Tsk, a Triumph on the cover of Roadholder? Whatever next ?

I have tried to contact the records department using the following email addresstwinrecords@nortonownersclub.orgbut my e mail keeps on coming back saying it cant be delivered.

The original fuel tap on my 1966 650SS, stored in the shed for 23 years, has seized solid and the filter has disintegrated. It is the "pull on/turn and pull for reserve" type.

Sorry if this is repeating things, but has anyone found a good colour match for the late 750 and mk1 850interstates in blue?

French blue has been hinted at.

Has anyone got an original panel that can be matched?

Cheers

Will my 1959 600cc Dominator 99 run on modern unleaded petrol?,or should I use a petrol additive?, if so what should I use? any help would beappreciated.

Thanks.

Calling wideline dominator owners, i am trying to to rebuild an 88 from a total basket case where many parts are missing. I have a tank at last, a strap which i think is the right one, and a new seat.

just removed what seems like a small drain plug from the outside casing of my engine. Underneath the oil pump. I was expecting to find a spring and ball bearing? But there was nothing there, should there be one?

This is a really silly question - but I'm stumped. The magdyno chaing on my 16h will not maintain its tension, becoming excessively loose in a few miles.

Hi All,

Hello does anyone own a jubilee deluxe that could give me the correct height for my front mudguard bracket clamps, a measurement from the bottom of the fork leg to the clamp would be good.
