As a new owner of a Norton...can anybodyplease tell me the difference between a wideline frame and a slimline frame....learning something new every week..thanks again to Anna for

all the technical advice so far..Russ

I've acquired a Commando Flywheel and the two cheek plates, disassembled.

Hi All. I just wanted to know where I could some spare parts fora "laydown" gearbox please?

Items required are the mainshaft 1/4" rollers. Main (sleeve) bearingoil shield disc, footchange and kickstart springs etc.

Some of you may have seen my thread on 16H speedo cables. which started an interesting potential debate. I didn't mean to start a separate debate, but as the topic has been raised it is an interesting one!

Hello, I need to perform an oil change to my 1947 es2 500. Where can I find information on how to or a maintenance manual for the motorcycle? any input will be greatly appreciated. Best

Hi,

I know that spitting backthroughthe carb is usually due to a weak mixture but does anyone know what the actual mechanism is ?

The spark does not happen when the inlet valve is open so it cannot be that route can it ?

Not a request for help this time, rather a comment on my experience.

I am looking to do away with my front fork rubber gators and fit exterior springs around the fork legs. does any body have the process for stripping the front forks to allow these springs to be fitted.....thanks..Russ

I own a 1976 850 Commando Roadster, the previous keeper has removed the airfilter assembly and has fitted a K and N filter - runs fine but I would like to go back to standard, I have looked on e-bay and I wish I hadn't as one is featured - some so

I have a nice steel Mk 3 Roadster Tank and side panels (in Union Jack!)which I would like to fit to my Mk3 inter.

Oooops! Not sure what happened to the original message so lets try again.

I recently got round to reading the June âRoadholderâ magazine.

Hi - I agree with the gentleman with the Mk3 - my single carb conversion seems to have done wonders for my Mk2 - strange - must be something to do with the large jet they supply.

I received this link from a Ducati list. It is quite worrying.

I have a 1929 Big4 with a speedo in the tank. I need a speedo cable has anyone any information on getting one Thanks.

hi there just a quick one. i take it that the return pipe out of enging goes to the inlet of the external filter . and the outlet of the filter goes to the return in the tank thanks in advance

G day once again sory for confusion.

Say a new Commando owner was to put grease in the grease nipple of the swinging arm - would that owner then need to strip and clean out the swinging arm prior to using oil rather than grease?

All hypothetical you understand!

Does anyone know of a good supplier who could provide a decent speedo cable for a 16H? I need the type that fits Girders with a front wheel speedo drive.

Hi anyone fitted the seal with gearbox in situ if so any problems to overcome thanks Eddie Bellamy

Hello everyone,

some time ago i bought a set of +40 oversize rings from RGM as spares since my bike is running this size.

I have noticed some new roadster fuel tanks with the fuel cap opening towards the back with the button to the front .

Did any roadster come out with the cap this way.

A number of people have had problems with posting to the Message Boards. It seems that it is not possible to type text into the main message and it remains blank.

Hoping to find help regarding my plunger frame 1950 ES2 centerstand spring. I've just received a new spring from my good friend & Norton buddy in the UK, part no. A2/527. Measuring center to center on the attachment holes is 6 inches.

I have had an enquiry asking if anyone knows of an electric start conversion for an ES2. Can anyone help?

Follow up from previous post re: 1964 650SS.......Note no 'Steering Stop Plate' ass't / illustraton, so can someone please assist?

Thanks Steve
