I have enclosed some pictures of the issue, I bought the exhaust from armours and they repaired it in the first week.

Norton have appointed 3 dealers including Thor Motorcycles in Bodmin on the Devon Cornwall border.being on holiday in the area I called in to have a look. The showroom is large and modern with 4 new Nortons on the showroom floor.

On the Norton Web site this week I noticed that they were advertising that they were having "bike nights" at Donnington Hall and the first event is this coming Thursday.

I recently had a commando stolen from a lock-up garage (along with several other bikes and a ton of bike and car parts. The whole place was cleared out).

i am on with the clutch on a basket case rebuild and notice on the parts list i have that the clutch has a clutch plate cover a2/396, i do not have one. is it just to stop the oil entering the clutch? is it a strenthener?

Hi

I have a 1960 99 dominator, previousley owned by my father. I have recently rebuilt it but have two questions regards the timing.

I have a 1956 99 rolling chassis, almost complete. The engine I have found is out of an Atlas. My question is, should I modify the front engine mounts on the frame to look more like the Atlas frame?

Hello I have the older gearbox in my jubilee, I have used loctite on the lay shaft bush, seeing as the engine is stripped I thought now is a good time to pin it as well, do the later gearboxes pin the bush from the inside or the outside.

Both bikes have matching frame/engine # the most complete one I believe to be a high rider 1972 the partial a 1971 missing trany chain case not much left but a frame, engine was hatched, cases not split and only one conecting rod.

I have posted an advert in the classified section under exchanges but would like to draw attention to it here as it's relevant to pre Featherbed single owners.

I've stripped the gearbox from my 1936 model 18 as It requires a repair to the bottom pivot and also it jumps out of 3rd gear.

Hi

My apologies for yet another Laydown gearbox question but any help is much appreciated...I'm building a Dommieracer from the basis of a '54 88 which we have bought in 'kit' form.

I've taken the head and barrel off of my '51 ES2 to sort out the leakiy head joint and discovered problems with both valves.

Under 'Heavy Twins' there's currently a note relating how rumour has it that balancing practices and AMC were perhaps not very satisfactory.Someone on a Norton site wrote rude remarks about inadequate balancing a couple of years back.

More help please. The 1954 model 88 has the iron head. It's going to be replaced with the later ally head from around 1960. Bought from the NOC spares scheme, it said it fits models 88 and 99.

ok i know i am opening up a can of worms here but i am only familiar with the norton atlas /750 and 850 commando engines and i would like to know if there is anything special in a manxman engine?,its just the engine i want to know about regards ni

I will be riding up to Stanford Hall for the Founders Day Motorcycle Meeting on my 961. Any other 961 owners going to be there? If so perhaps we could all meet up.

I need a bit of help please.

I would like to add an air filter to my single Monobloc 99, has anyone done this? There is very little space between the carb and the battery box which is mounted further forward than the oil tank. What filters has anyone used that fit?

I'm sure other people will have had this problem, My model 50 (1960..Slimline) is sometimes reluctant to settle in to a slow tickover when say stoping at lights etc...the problem is it does'nt always do this only about 50% of the time!
