I have a set of Girder forks on my WD 16H which don't seem to be correct for a WD bike. I have recently stripped and rebuilt them and found a number stamped on the lower spindle tube which is 12607

Any help in tracing the history of this bike would be much appreciated

I need to buy a speedo and tacho for my '73 Commando Roadster. What style and ratio clocks do I need?

My '73 Commando roadster has the head steady mount on the frame blanked off with molded rubber covers. Is this standard? Does this year not have a head steady?

Hi Norton owners

It is now 18 months since I started the restoration on my 1960Dominator 99 and began using the message board, well now the job is complete.

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this issue, which is perplexing me!

I have a couple of JPS Nortons in the shed. Problem is they both have different fairings and different exhaust mounts.

Its time for the noise doctor to step in! I have had my Commando for about 5 months and within this period a clicking noise from the engine, around the cylinders, has grown slightly stronger and stronger.

Hello all,

I have just taken apart my rear plunger units on my 1949 ES2 and wish to check with anyone who knows which way the springs go in - heavy thicker ones at the top or bottom? cheers Glenn

Hi, Can anybody tell me what year and model Norton gearbox belong to.

I was given "1953 Norton ES2" in boxes engine was on the frame. I since have removed the engine. I am going to send in for the history thanks to this gr8 site.

Doing some work on a `65 Atlas that has stood for some 20 years, after sorting Carbs, Mag etc..., Started but bad knocking from bottom end. On strip found Mains and Big ends OK, but one cam follower had failed.

Hi everyone hope you are all well,

just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a tool list for the 650ss

Hi,can anybodygive me a sketch or tell mehow the tank top panel looks on aES232 single? And what colour/ lining onthis? Thank you!

Regards from Svein.

Hi, I am a new new member and although I do not yet own a Norton I am hoping to change that in the near future. I already own a 1951 Royal Enfield Model G but am looking to get another classic bike.

My ,53 Dommie no.7 has been partly restored and a copper cylinder head gasket fitted at some time, probably fairly recently. However only 2 of the front head bolts are fitted and there is a hole for a third just behind them.

If any of you follow Accessnorton these may be boring repeats: Is there a standard screw pattern for front master cylinders to attach it to the switch cluster or is attachment of a "foreign" master cyl. a custom job?

As some of you may be aware Mrs Hemmings has recently been taken ill and will not be in 'The Shop' for a while. I do not know the nature of her illness, but suffice to say it involved an operation, so that's serious enough for me.

hi, i've just aqquired a 650ss cam for my 99 dominator,hoping this will give a little extra grunt. my question is should i change the radius followers to the flat type which would have been fitted with this cam.

Twice this year I have had the following problem which developed progressively:

1. RH Carb hard to tickle.

2. Throttle pick up erratic when cold.

3. Erratic idle on RH cylinder

I have a friend with a Mk III who is complaining that he's getting through too many expensive sprag clutches (I know, a common complaint!).

If I measure my valve clearances and they are the same hot as when set cold, why do they have to be so large? My Commando clearances are 0.006" and 0.008".

Is there any news on a badge for this years national rally ? At the time, email/contact details were taken with a promise that once numbers were known, badges would be organised & we would be contacted & told how to obtain them.
