Hi,

I have a irritating small oil leak on my 88SS cylinder head. It is three cooling fins up on the right hand side.Is this a common problem and is there a fix ?

Thanks

Colin

Hi all,

I've been trying to read about the NOC Nat Rally in Devon & can't find a thing about it, even though it took place four weeks ago now.

Has anyone any reports or do we have to wait for Roadholder to feature it ?.

Hi Everyone.

I am a relatively new member and already have made a new post and answered a few queries.

There really is no way of removing the cylinder head with the engine in the frame of a '76 ES 850 is there?

Has anyone else had problems with the steering head nut undoing over a short period of time?

Has any one got the sizes of thebolts for the following as trying to restore my pride and joy?? would like to get them in stainless?

i have phoned evry one in the old bike mart (stainless and all i get is they need the sizes?)

Where arenewNorton Dominator parts made - In the UK or somewhere else like India or China? Apart from the Norton Owners Club,who has the blueprints? Are these parts 'fit for purpose'?

Would a 1960Dominator 99 have had fixings withBSCy or UNF threads

I recently inherited a very well looked after 1960 (manufactured 1959) ES2. The black rear mudguard is 6" wide and valanced with an attachment at the rear which can be removed to facilitate withdrawal of the wheel from the swinging arm.

Our wideline Featherbed bike used to have an 'Unapproachable Norton' transfer on the rear mudguard like that shown on the primary chain cover of Mike Pemberton's bike on P38 of the latest 'Roadholder' magazine.

Afternoon all. I've got a 1972 Combat 750 Interstate that I find uncomfortable to ride, the problem is annoying enough for me to be planning to sell it. It has non standard bars ( slightly lower ) and standard pegs.

Does anyone know if these `fuel catalyst octane booster tablet/capsules` work? They are supposed to have a life of 250,000 miles,but do the work?

Does anyone know if the cigar shaped silncers as fitted to a '59 '88' are still available please, i have only seen the later ones which bump up at the top just behind the front pipe connection, thanks

Thankyou to those who assisted with my engine queries(tappet settings), I think it is oil tight enough now too.

Any advice on my 'sticky forks' ? After a long total rebuild (32years, don't ask) I have finally got my Atlas working again. I bought new fork stanchions, bushes and seals a while ago (15yrs+)and fitted them.

I've had my ES2 for about a month now and with a bit of advice from Mike Pemberton have hopefully sorted the oil leaks from the pushrod tubes, although I have had difficulty in finding out who can supply seals of the correct type but silicon seams

I have acquired a fully restored 1948 ES2 but am having some problems and hope people more familiar with Nortons will be able to provide some advice.

At the risk of alienating other lightweight twin owners, I wonder if it's worth the cost to change my leaking, smelly Monobloc 375 for a new Amal Concentric MkII?
