Good morning.

I bought my 1974 850 earlier but am only now about to start on a complete renovation. Before I start I am looking for tips and good ideas, I wonder;

Having just returned from the Manx Classic (spectator thatis) its time to re-fettle the bike.

Could someone please have a look at the attached pics to see if I'm missing a bracket which may attach to the back of the rear part of the clutch oil bath which would stop the chain from catching on the frame?

Hello Everyone,

Thank you to everybody who either posted comments or e-mailed me directly about a series of inappropriate posts to this forum. My apologies for being a little behind in dealing with this but I was away.

Is it an issue I should be overly concerned about?

While riding yesterday I noticed I had left the indicator flashing. As I turned the indicator off the bike cut out. I found the main fuse had blown. As I put in a new one it blew straight away. New fuses arrive tomorrow.

Hi,

Is this just a higher capacity 3 start pump or something different? TIA

No one has posted a message, of thanks, to Marc, and his team for an excellent (as usual) rally last weekend. Even the weather was (slightly!) better than the past two years. Many thanks Marc, your efforts are appreciated.

Dear All.I would like to kindly ask you about help regarding vehicle (motorbike) registration.If you could be so kind and provide me all technical data for my motorbike Norton Dominator 600 99 Heavy Twin 1961Required technical data:

please can anyone tell me where the VIN plate was attached on an original JPN replica? Was it still to be found UNDER the fairing mounting bracket ( ie on the frame headstock ) or was it moved elsewhere?

Years ago, I remember the club publishing and sending out a collection of technical articles, as the NOC handbook, this was a handy little tome, and I still refer to it, but I wish we could have a newer version, particularly with Mike Pembertons c
