I wonder if anyone knows the answer to this.

Hi All!

Greetings, just restoring my 650SS and reassembling the forks. Now some time ago I purchased a pair of Hemmings Roadholder "Anti-Knock" damper extensions but where are these fitted?

Did a 1929 Big 4 have a speedo in the tank?

Did it have a pastry crust edged tank.

Can someone let me know where I can get a speedo in working order and good condition for a 1929 Big 4.

Or where I can get one overhauled.

Also I have asked for help about my 1950 16H re hard to start when warm.

Hi, having only just joined NOC and looking at taking ownership of my first ever classic motorbike next weekend, I'm eager to source a workshop manual for my bike.

I have a damaged clutch basket on my mercury and seem unable to locate a eplacement. RGM sold me one which takes 4 plates (friction and metal). My unit is a 5 plate clutch.

I am beginning to put my basket case 72 Commando back together and I know there is a mod for the swing arm spindle. where can I find it.

Hi there. I have just found a Norton Dominator n. 7 1952 in the countryside of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.I need some help from you guys.I am not going to restore the machine to it's original shape.

I have just had a most frustrating ride back from Solent branch meeting, in the dark with only sidelights.

The bike ran fine with headlight on all the way there, 20miles, but was a little difficult to start later.

Hi guys,

I have the pleasure of rebuilding a classic model 1958 model 50 for a friend, and have some questions.

??????????????????????

Where is the original post? What was the question? I would love to talk about LED bulbs! I got my 12 volt positive ground (earth) led bulbs from Paul Goffs website:

Hello,

Thanks for your welcome at the Stafford show.

Dear all,

I'm currently fitting a PAZON Sure Fire PAMT 1 electronic ignition system (the one replacing a K2F magneto) on my 1960 Dommie and would like to install a rev counter too.

I have an irritating leak from the laydown gearbox on my 1950 ES2. It appears to be emanating from down the kickstart shaft. Although this topic has been covered on the forum, it seems to deal with the AMC 'box.

I would like recommendations for Oil viscosities/manufacturers and Tyre pressures for a 64 Norton 650SS fitted with an external oil Filter.

Hello,

I have another question for people who may know? I have seen that the end of the push rod that rides in the cam follower is worn showing a dimple in the end, were these hardened? as they do not seem to be?

I have just made a right balls-up, reverse- connected the pos/neg leads on my ES2 battery before running it up the road prior to its first MOT since massively expensive rebuild.

Hi

My recent messages regarding gear ratios etc have lead me to discover some poor Norton engineering practice as regards chain life.

Hi; I am about to make plans to spray my bike but I cant find the spec for the colour which is GOLDEN SAND. Any one got any ideas how I can get it?

Many Thanks. Jim

I've just found out that there is a rally of the French NOC on 29/30 Apr / 1st May at Lac des Settons, which is in central France, (not the department Centre), in the Morvan area. I suppose its about 6 hours ride south of Calais.

Ladies, Gentlemen,

You all missed an excellent opportunity to purchase a mint example of this highly desireable model for very little money!

Does anybody know the ratio of speed to revs for a 1966 650SS? In top, mine is doing 45mph at 3000rpm. After 22 years in the shed it's had a 2 year longrebuild and a Mick Hemming's(Norvil?) "Dominator"primary belt drive installed.

Hi Iam after a bit of advice please.

My 62 Atlas is making a "clunk' on the second to third upshift and only on that shift. The clutch probably needs a cleaning but that shouldnt cause this? primary chain is not taught.
