Hi Everybody,

I've recently bought a 1934 16H combination with Swallow sports sidecar which I'm really loving. (I fell for my best friends 1938 ES2 when I was 18 years old, and now 40 years on finally have my first Norton too).

This may be a daft question......

There are lots of different "whites" in cellulose, but is there a specific "black" for Norton Commandos? Also, are they painted in cellulose , 2-pack, enamel etc?

Thanks

Andy

Hi, what paint color is used on the silver/grey items likeyokes, fender stays, air filter etc. on Commando's?Might there be a modern equivalent? Cheers, Bennie

Genuine Reason for Sale - My wife and I have decided to do some touring together and I can't afford to buy another bike as the Norton is all I own.

When I obtained my mkIII commando last year, I planned on upgrading the brakes to something a bit more modern. The brakes that are currently fitted have some nice steel braided hoses, and the brakes themselves are Lockheed disc brakes.

Hi all - any ideas - my Mk2A (upped to 920cc) is now run-in and runs a treat. I have today noticed that it is unhappy revving to over 4200 rpm - the engine just coughs - as soon as I back-off on the throttle she's fine.

Hi,

Mike Pemberton informs me that my Model 50 cylinder head was delivered yesterday (3/20/12) with no duties asked.

OK Guys,

To bung or not that is the question. I dismantled the swing arm and the felt bungs were in both ends of the pivot but in the manual I dont see any in the drawing. Seems like they should be there to me but..........

As stated, this 195819S had sat for 40 years unloved and unused.

Hi there! I am a Dominator owner in my late twenties. I have lived in Windsor for a year and a half but I have never seen a Norton, Triumph... passing by.

I have turned up a useful piece of information which I was going to post on the original thread, but have just had to spend a few moments multi-tasking (searching for the News & Views section, whilst scratching my headâ?.) and searching for th

Woooaaaahhhh! It doesn't stop like my Honda CBR!! I hear that I can have the front brake modified by RGM(?). Any idea how much? Is there a Japanese/Triumph one I can use instead? What do you suggest apart from ride slowly?

Can anyone advise me on what type of oil to put in my 1956 19S gearbox? Also how much oil does it hold and is there an oil level hole in the gearbox?

Having crushed the 2nd speedo gearbox in only a few miles, something must be wrong with the setup or order of spacers. The first gearbox came with a flanged spacer to go inside the hole in thegearbox.

I cam across this article, a bit old but worth a read, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/sport-obituaries/6664072/Olga-Kevelos.html<

A 20 year old in my neighborhood purchased a 650ss to restore & is making slow progress on the project. With spring around the corner & no bike to ride in the near future, he acquired a BSA B25 for cheap.

Hi all

Greetings,

My 88SS has the book valve clearances - 6 thou inlet, 8 thou exhaust. It is very 'clattery'! The 'standard' 88 clearances are 3 thou and 5 thou respectively.
