Hi,
I live in Milton Keynes and have for many years owned but not used a 750 Commando Interstate. I have long dreamed of getting it running again, and if I don't do it now I never will!
I was just curious if anyone here is going to the International Norton Rally in the USA ? I live about 9 hours away, so I am doing & have my ticket. It would be great to put a face to the name.

I am posting this request for help again today as my yesterday evening post seems to have disappeared.
Hi All ! After checking with several reputable, old, oil companies & three different Norton gearboxre builders(restorers) the EP gearbox oil discussion can finally be laid to rest!
Having fallen foul of fuel going off in the tank over winter - even after 6 - 8 weeks I am wondering whether to add stabiliser to the fuel as a matter or course and are there any downsides. Does anyone have any thoughts?
I have a 73 750 commando. It runs very well, starts easily and sounds fine. It gets used locally a lot, and less frequently for rides of about 100 miles in a day. It trypically does 30 -50 mileswhenI go out on it.
Can anyone help, Has anyone recently seen a 1929 Big 4 sold. What sort of price do they make.
Either as a rough or restored bike.
I need to buy a new set of exhaust pipes for my 1972 fastback. I am considering whether to buy a set from RGM or a more expensive set from Armours.
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.
