Hello. I joined the NOC earlier this week. I live in Settle Nth Yorks.

Hi there,

I intend to fit a sidecar to my 1957 wideline frame.

Can anybody tell me the differences between an Inter plunger frame and a ES2 plunger frame. I have been told an Inter engine will not fit into a ES2 frame?? Thanks David

Hi I have a 72 750 interstate with a mild clonk from the forks, i have ordered the bush and seal kit and studied the haynes manual but having never stripped forks before wondered if there were any tips/short cuts/tricky bits??.

My 1963 88SS rear number plate tinware is wrong (possibly BSA) and, what's worse, shabby. But can anyone confirm the correct type?

Can somebody more knowledgeable than I help me please.?

I am putting together a 1964 650SS engine which, unfortunately , has no crankcase bolts to which I can refer.

I am trying to work out how the brake pedal return spring should be fitted to my wideline. The only way I can see that it will go means that the spring would end up pushing the pedal down - clearly not what is intended!

Doesanyone know where to get a new gear lever for my 1955 ES2 with lay-down box. There's plenty available for the AMC box but not the lay-down. It's a bigger splined shaft.

I'm looking for a sidestand,original or pattern,to fit a 1955 (Single downtube) frame,I have looked but as yet no luck,are these unobtainiun,hens teeth??

I'd just like to thanks Derek Turnbullfor the article in the NOC magazine pages 15 to 18 as I've been having trouble getting to sleep lately, this should help, cheers

When I first logged on I was given option 'remember password on this machine' - but now I cannot find how to alter this preference. Can I change it?

Thanks

Hello all I have a mk2a 850 that was registered in 1975 i suppose it may have hung around in a dealers as i beleave by then the mk3 came out.

I went to order up some bulk oil from Morris's this morning and it wouldn't accept the old NOC discount code. Thinking I had got it wrong, I had a look on the Services bit and it states "

Have just read a couple of good reviews on these has anyone here used them or have any experience with anything similar.

Your views would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Just tried to get hold of a 100/90 19 from my local dealer at Beaulieu only to find these are on back order from Avon. This means at least 4 weeks delivery time scale with no definitive delivery date.

I'm looking for a classic bike mechanic or an experienced enthusiast in the Midlands areato help me get my bike started and running well.

I have a 1948 ES2 fitted with a standard Amal 276 type carb. The tickover is rough as rats. I have checked the inlet for air leaks and the slide is ok. If the pilot screw is turned in or out, it makes very little difference.

To Chris Grimmett.

Hi Chris, the message board says you made a post, in the Rider's section, this morning,but, there is nothing there!

I fear I ought to add a brake light to the 16H - sadly I live in an urban area. But the standard all-purpose Far East thing - with its clamp on the chain stay and clamp on brake rod - is so hideous...even after it's sprayed black.

I have an intermittent ignition failure on my â72 Roadster Commando which started about two months ago.

While riding along the ignition fails and the bike stops!

Torque Settings please for the worm drive nut on a Dommi 600?

I am noticing that too much torque causes binding in the crank rotation.

Many thanks.

Hi is it normal for oil to appear on top of the head nuts when eng is running. I am having a lot of problems trying to stop oil leaks on the right head and have oil coming out between fins and running down barrel.
