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!

Hi,

Has anyone experience of fitting a 120 section or even a 130 section rear tyre to a mk3 commando ?

I realise I would need an 18" rim but curious to know what is the widest section tyre it"s possible to fit.

Some where inside this box of cyber space I spotted a chart that had info on gearbox numbers. I can't find it. Anyone know where it is, or similar info that outlines what the G102, G101 numbers indicate??

I've just fitted a single Mikuni VM34 to my 750 Commando, jetted IAW the american NOA notes. I could not get it to run properly at tickover.

In case some have interest :

I have an almost new (tread depth) but very old Avon GP 4.10 H 19 tire fitted to a WM2 19 rim.

These were standard equipment on Norton Commando front and rear roadster and combat models ?

Hi to one and all. I have a '76 850 ES which has been converted to belt drive and has most of the ES guts removed. I do have the starter motor which is the original 2-Brush type and one of the gears but no sprag clutch etc.

I know very little about what constitutes 'concours' standards but assume it must have the bike looking like it did ex-works.

Whilst I am interested in standard Nortons (own a fairly standard 1946 Model 18) I'm sure that I can't be alone in having an interest in Norton specials. (as well as my model 18 I have a heavily modified Commando.
