I have acquired a set of NOSNorton 600 pistons [ Heplex ] with the reference on the box end of 16362 but I can find no reference to this number in any of my literature.

I'm trying to put my 194116H clutch together - the bike's a basket-case, so some of this is guesswork. The originalbasket appears to be from a later bike as it has more clutch plates than it should have.

Puzzled as to why mine lights WITH the left hand indicators, but NOT with the right hand ones!!

Both sides work fine, front and rear, but reading the wiring diagram I assume the warning light 'earths' through the side not being used?

I have a Dominator gearbox, number N18238, that I plan to match with a Weslake engine. For Registration purposes DVLA require the age of the gearbox. Can anybody give me a guide how I can find this out please?

An interesting one hour programme on the Norton Factory at Donington and a review of their entry to this year's TT could be seen on ITV 4 last night (Tuesday). You can catch it again on ITV Player, search for TT 2014.

Just picked up the latest issue of BIKE magazine. A nice article on Richard Hammond's 961SE in there - Good to see Hamster featuring in a bike magazine too for a change.

Are the deluxe panels for the Jubilee and the Dominator deluxe the same size. If they are a different size how can you tell.

Thanks

Apologies for starting further conversation on this but I fear my latest query might be lost to view at the end of the very helpful series of Q & A's I have already had.

Where can I purchase dzus fasteners for the Jubilee deluxe side panals, what size do I require.

A couple of the dzus wire attachments on the frame are broken, other than welding is there any other way of repairing them.

Thanks

I have a friend who could produce new barrels. What i need to know is what is the market for these and what size/pattern would be of interest. Alloy or iron ?.

My bike cut out at 70 mph yesterday.

After a few minutes it re-started and I started it first kick this morning.

It is a Fastback LR with a push/twist fuel cap. There was some staning aoroud the fuel cap breather hole.

I am refurbishing the tank on my 1936 16H as what is left of some aged sealant in the rusty inside is breaking up and the whole thing needs sorting.

I've been lucky enough to purchase a 1936 'garden gate' works racer and would be interested in hearing from anyone who may own a similar machine or know of any similar machines. Haveany others survived ?

Hi,

I have a 1934, 1937, 1938 panel tanks that I am restoring and they have been re chromed and the panels satin chromed.

I had the misfortune to have to travel along a road that had recently been resurfaced and the loose chippings have done a good job of removing the paint on part of the lower frame.

Well guys and lady's as we are getting older by the minuet , and we all need to think about the Future riders and Norton enthusiasts , so I been cogitating ,and just may a new young member and riders Scheme need too be put in place with the EC a

Not an everyday problem for those of you in the UK but I presume some of you will have the old pressed black/silver plates.

Hello i hope some one out there will be able to help

Hi, was wondering if someone could help me. I have a 1963 Dominator 500SS and i was informed that i have a Bonny speedo on it now.

Does anyone have a picture of the correct seat for this bike. The one currently with the bike looks too long and has damaged the rear of the tank where it is resting on it. Some pictures show a slightly stepped seat. Thanks

Does anybody know what the actual full amount of travel should beonroadholder forks in a 1959 "88"

Is their any problems in removing cylinder spigots as they were cracked,i've had the head skimmed, do I need a special gasket?

Thanks

Hello all, after back surgery I'm beginning to struggle with a few aspects of Commando ownership (and other large(ish) bikes). I've fitted an Alton starter to alleviate heaving away on the 'kicker'.

Compression was down on my Atlas, so I pulled the head, and found a poorly seated head gasket (the composite one). I have good used copper gasket. Is it okay to put on a used one (after annealing)?

Ok folks I need all the kick start mechanism parts for a dominator box number GB8 433 lay down NOT AMC part numbers 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86 and kick start return spring 48 . See diagram attached.

Checking norton commando 750 gearbox over, pulled mainshaft out completely. Mainshaft won't go back in through the clutch centre. Is there a way to do this?
