Hello,

did I write in my introduction that my M50 has not yet been restored or is 
relatively untouched? I think it's a fairy tale. 

Is this silencer fixing plate the right version or was something else adjusted

Have Norton ever had crankshaft centerline offset to bore centerline? Called desaxe engines. A principle known and used as early as the thirties, maybe even earlier. Gaining popularity nowadays.

Hello,

I’ve recently acquired this Manx Norton front wheel, it came off a side car outfit and therefore has a 16” Dunlop Rim,

im looking for a Borrani or Dunlop 19” WM1 or WM2 rim to change it for,

For some years I have been trying to source a pair of footrest rubbers for a slimline dommy . Our suppliers think they have them , but up to now they only have lightweight ones (which don’t fit) , no one seems to make them now (no demand!!).

Hi,

Would anyone be able to help me with identifying this Norton, please?
It belonged to my great uncle.

Hi,does anyone know of symptoms relating to carb throttle slider needle wear please?

The journey of how i came about to be one of the judges at the recent Aberfoyle rally in Scotland started two years ago at the first Solstice rally after seeing what bikes won and how they arrived at the rally site.

While at the Ardingly show yesterday I visited Paul Goff's stand to buy a new bulb for my chrono speedo. I have not so far taken any notice of the new trend in LED lighting apart from valuing my LED head torch which goes everywhere with me.

The prop/side stand I have now over extends when pulled down consequently I can’t reach it when on the bike. I would prefer it to stop just past 90 degrees. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I quite often find myself wondering what country the contributors to topics are from.

How do I "quote" a particular comment within a topic?

I've possibly just not found this functionality yet, but....

How does one go about finding one's own posts or topics?

I'm quite enjoying this series of articles in the club mag, but I've only been a member for a couple of years and was wondering if there was a complete list of the articles somewhere?

Hello,

Trying to improve the tickover on my Mk3 - not entirely successfully, notwithstanding I have new Premiers and the slides are rising together.

The Guardian just published a 2-part podcast on Donnington Nortons and Stuart Garner, titled The Great British Motorcycle Scam, available on The Guardian’s Today in Focus podcast, 24th/25th July. Sad story…

Hello, all.

This is my Wideline frame, The front engine plate brackets denote this as a frame for a twin. What's left of the frame numbers looks like it's a 'P' - 1959.

Just doing a de-coke and found that the arm on the exhaust valve seems to have wear on the face of where it contacts the top of the valve stem. (Bad enough that a burr was thrown up.).

Hi, I need to put oil in my AMC gearbox, my Haynes manual says Hypoy but no grade - I presume its 80 or 90. But Mr Google tells me it is SAE 40 or 50. Our technical section only describes oil for the lightweights.

I'm looking for some Laydown gearbox casings and see quite a few with broken bottom lugs - are these from non Featherbed models?

I refitted the rear wheel on my Atlas in the correct way with the spacer between the swinging arm and the speedo gearbox but when I tighten the right side wheel spindle nut it crimps the speedo gearbox and the wheel ends up being tight also.

I have a 1971 Commando with an external oil filter. I cannot remember if the tap is on or off when in line or at 90 degrees. I would appreciate any help 

Can anyone tell me the size and thread of the nut that bolts on to the lower stud that secures the gearbox to the engine plate on the primary chaincase side?

Is there anywhere I can read up on the Laydown gearbox?

“Chrome plating is set to be banned, potentially forcing car makers to rethink one of the most exploited materials for giving cars a premium look.

Hallo ! 

i have 2 nortons & also a new imperial, can anyone tell me where i can get information or perhaps diagram of a lucas e3b-7 dynamo, i will be most gratefull

... I think have been on the slide for a while. A very honest looking Model 50 has just failed to reach £2,000 on ebay. The recent auction at Pugh's was also great for buyers if not sellers - a DBD34 scrambles Goldie for under £6,000 anyone?

Like an idiot forgot to refill gearbox on my Mk 1 961 Sport after an oil change when I got distracted during process returning to job sometime later , taking bike out for an 18 mile ride.
