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?

Hi - I am just about finished restoring my 850 Commando and need some help with the side panels.

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.

Just had some machine dating info returned from Chris. On the sheet my Model 20 came from the factory with a panel mount instrament and a dyna gearchange.

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.

where can i find it on a navigator mine is powder coated over

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.

Does anyone who maintains the site monitor this stuff?

I have heard say of a Norton parts supplier in the area of Southport/Ainsdale/Hillside. Does anyone have any experience of such a person and if so, do you have contact details?

Cheers chaps and chapesses.
