looking for Norton Barrels for my 1956 Norton Domminator 88. 
Anyone know where can get it?

Last weekend, a strange noise occurred when I closed the throttle of my Model 50. It was a strange whining/rubbing noise. Like something was spinning on an axle or grinding against something.

Hello

I'm trying to track down a crankcase oil leak on my 1973 Commando.

As a compliment every now and then is important:

I really like the fact that we now get e-mail notifications when there's a reaction.  Very, very useful!

Ta very much!

Hi all, i'm currently attempting to assemble my 1959 norton model 50 into it's cases.  Quite frankly i'm ou of my comfort zone and petrified of causing more work for myself.  I've got  MP's CD and also the period maintenance manual.  I've laid the

Can Anyone shed some light on the racer, entrant, sponsor Nigel Spring? Web is not helping me and I find little in my documentation on his role within the company.

Losses at Norton Motorcycles have passed the £100m mark since it was rescued out of administration five years ago.

My Commando is popping out of first gear - not all the time but often enough to make a wet cheddar gorge tricky.  I measured the kickshaft end float at 14 to 15 thou and decided to put a 5 thou shim in there and see how that went.

I,m fitting liners to a 750 block to get it back to std bore (it had damaged skirts) and as a matter of interest i weighed the new Hepolite branded std size pistons (made by JCC in Taiwan) and compared it to the +.060 thou JP pistons that were fit

Hello, 
650ss rebuild. 

Back in the day, as they say, there was talk of the famous "Twitter" on the overrun, Never happened for me Pw3 cam , Andover silencers or not.    Then one day at Cirencester autojumble I acquired a pair of silencers,for a Tenner!

Hello, have Norton gearbox in N15CS
Took off the outer cover to get chrome plating striped
I have not disturbed the inner cover
Took out the Knuckle Pin from the Change Quadrant, no problem

Royal Enfield Bullet alternators look very like the unencapsulated Lucas ones on Nortons. Would one fit? They are cheap and certainly effective - the one on my 1998 Bullet works a treat.

Hi guys
With the take over of Avon tyres by Goodyear, Roadrider tyres in 100/90 × 19" are getting hard to find.

After finally getting my rebuilt engine run in, its time to concentrate on the fine tuning.

hello, im new to the forum.

Hi all.

Where would you recommend to get my fuel tank Fully restored and painted Looking like new again hopefully?:)))

Two years in and I have just about got my Electra oil tight apart from a stubbornly little weep from the primary chain case oil filler cap.

Dear All,

hi, can anyone help with 500t left side or a pair of 500t footrests please

After having the monobloc of my Model 50 sleeved, I tried setting it up correctly and seem to have done it nearly right.

Hi Guys,

I have acquired a barrel (std. bore) with badly damaged skirts. ie. large chunks missing!

Presumably it could be bored/sleeved and the rod cut-outs re-machined but would it be worth the expense? 

Hello 

I'm still on the lookout for a 650ss barrel as the engine I have has a 99 barrel and it's not ideal (see previous forum discussions). It's on my shopping list  - but prices are a bit salty at the moment.

Having recently rebuilt my Dommie with a new cam chain, after a few hundred miles I noticed a rattle in the timing case.

Folks,
my dommie has dynamo 6v and Magneto with auto-advance.
I bought the kit to transform my Dommie on electric ignition, composed by:

On my 850 mk3, I run pazon ignition and a single Mikuni carb. I am getting good compression (172 psi) on both cylinders, yet when I check the plugs one has a sooty core whereas the other looks fine?

I'm looking for information regarding early 1947 specifications for the 500 singles. I have one of the surviving B3T Trials 500s and am in the process of returning the bike to what I hope would have been the original spec.
