Hi out there

My dominator swinging arm has a Manx type bush conversion. Can anyone advise me if an EP140 gear oil would be a suitable lubricant? Thanks,Stu.

I am about to buy new rubber iso and a proper head mount for a Mk.3. What can anyone recommend as a supplier and considering prices?

Yesterday, I sent an email to the technical guysat Norton Motorcycles. I have posted it here as I'm not sure it will get answered, but it could be worth discussing.

I have in the past rebuilt many motorcycle engines including Dominator motors, but not recently.

Hi all please can you help me i have brought a 850 JPN but am not sure if its a replica or original. frame number, f106019 engine, 311909 1974. cheers craig

I know it's previously been asked by a member and reply was posted by Anna Dixon, but I'm a little confused still. Anna, you say silver and dove grey tank, is that correct or is it just silver-grey? (like the 650ss).

Could anyone please tell me where the breather from the rear of the timing cover should be routed?

Hi All,

I have a Slimline ES2, does anyone know if these should have a head steady fitted as it does vibrate a lot at about 50mph.

I am more used to commando's so it might be me.

Hi Guys & Gals

I am just recovering from a bad bout of sciatica,probably not helped by my poor technique of getting my Jubilee onto its centre stand.

Can anyone offer me any tips or advice on using the centre stand easily?

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.
