What is the accepted way to measure cam bush wear? I assume a dial indicator on the cam shaft with the cam installed in the cases, but cant find what amount of clearance is acceptable.
I am in the process of rebuilding the bottm end of my 850 and with repacing the two mains, I have measured the endfloat and am seeing it at 0.003".

Hi all - hope you are all well. I've got a '75 MkIII and am almost back on the road following a long refit. I noticed my headlamp silvering is a little oxidised and it has prompted me to thiink about the best lighting available.
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.

Hi All,
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.
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.
