Hello All,

The twin carb's on my 54' Domi racer are causing a few problems. The slides close easily when the engine is not running. With the engine running, any light opening of the throttle causes them to stick open.

I am restoring a 1966 650SS dominator and I am looking for the orignal paint colour code for the petrol tank. the colour I am refering to is the same as the 650SS featured on the NOC website under model's ( dark graphite silver metallic).

did the featherbed bolt up framehave any weakness or was it just ease of production that caused the introduction of the all welded frame and what year did this occurr please.

Folks - I have a decision to make, and I would apoppreciate the views of anyone who has had similar experiences of their bike.

Can anyone advise if it is common practice machine down clutch pressure plates?

Thanks.

Hi, I am looking for 2 sets of contact breaker and 2 condensers for my 1961 Jubilee. Any contacts (!) that I can try before the club spares scheme is up and running in August?

hi , I am reading the letter concerning oil pumps, I W commented on the Suzuki TL 1000and states that the Suzuki engineers placed the pump before the cartridge filter , hence the damage to it .

I first posted the question in the Heavy Twins section but it's really a general Q - especially as I've just bought a 1961 Navigator de Luxe off eBay!

I've got a 1966 Atlas that was fitted with Boyer electronic ignition when I bought it, but it went wrong, so I refitted the magneto.
