Hi, I have twin 376 monobloc carburettors fitted to my 650SS that I bought from Burlen just over two years ago.

I have had the petrol tank for my 1953 Dommi 88 rechromed and now need to paint the polychromatic grey panels on each side and down the top of the tank.  Does anyone know where I could obtain templates for this?

Please can anyone advise what is required to travel from the UK to the NOC Rally in the Czech Republic?

I just wondered how common it is for the timing marks on the alternator rotor to be wrong.

After snapping several of my ankles I decided to go right back to basics and check the timing marks. 

Following some work on the petrol tank I tried to refit the hand change gate today, only to find that the threads are stripped in one of the blind inserts in the side of the tank.

Can anyone tell me how to wire my pre war 16H with a replica Lucas U39 light switch as it doesn't have the No. 5 position, as in the original diagrams?

Can anyone recommend a decent indoor motorcycle cover, or outdoor. Its just to keep the bikes dry from condensation/dampness in the shed.

Would there be instructions on checking camshaft timing on this website?

I've been in contact with the current owner of this machine regarding its possible sale.  Wondering if anyone here can shed some light on it's prior history. Thanks in advance for any information.

The engine is rebuilt, The reason is long and complex and starts with bits of piston ring in the sump,  found when investigating why so much oil was coming out the breather. The ring was obviously broken on assembly as the bores were fine.

I'm about to commission having a WM3 x 19" rim fitted to a spare hub, which will eventually be fitted to my 1972 Fastback.

Hi , is anyone running a SU carb, if so can they tell me how many turns out from full in they have. I have 4 turns out after following the instructions but not convinced its correct.

In order to fit my side stand to my Norton 650SS I needed to remove the primary chain case complete with inner part of the case. Therefore sadly I am having to remove the clutch and the alternator.

Picked up a chrome Slimline front mudguard today at an autojumble. It's clearly a repro item (you can see underneath it has been made from 3 seperate strips, rather than a single pressing as per original).

Hi, I’m looking for a (preferably) leather tool bag for my Mk3 roadster, any recommendations for something to carry a few tools and bits and pieces whilst touring ?

Hi All

I'm sure we have been here before. But I could not find the info I needed on the forum. What I would like to know is the carb settings for this particular carb, when fitted to a 1961 ES2. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi. I’ve fitted a new Amal Monobloc 376 to my Dommie 99 project. The only reliable way that I can get the bike to start and run is to have the air screw  wound out by 2.25 full turns from the bottomed ‘home’ position.

HI, I have a small problem with my Commando forks in that they seem to have too much travel when on the centre stand, main problem is that they pull on the lower flexible brake pipe and I believe this could actually stretch so much it would eventu
