Ever since I acquired the bike there has been a problem with a dragging clutch when the clutch lever is pulled in making it very difficult to engage neutral as the transmission is loaded up due to the dragging clutch.

Hi all. 

I have a 1970 (mark 2 I believe) Norton Commando Fastback, purchased nearly 12 months ago in boxes.

One of my Jubilee coils gave up recently and the bakerlite on the other gave way too. So I'm taking the opportunity to upgrade to 12v. Of I went bought 2 12v coils ,regulator and amp meter,  I have a boyerin the shed.

Hi all, I'm just looking for replacement 750 +20 pistons for my Non Combat Commando. The new Hepolite pistons seem good value at £83 + VAT and carriage but are they any good.

Hi all,

   I am posting this purely on the logistics of the current situation and how it might impact on the targets for reducing fossil fuel use against the possible mechanical benefits of E0 petrol in older vehicles.

I was thinking of fitting the 4 coils / brushes on my MK3.

 I just wanted some feedback from anyone who has fitted this

Hi, does anyone has experience with the R&R conrods which can be found on the Feked Classic Bike Parts? Are they reliable? Does one have to rebalance the crankshaft?

I am puzzled about the ignition timing on my 850 mk3 with a Boyer ignition I put on back in the 70s.

This should be straightforward but neither of the 'Maintenance and Instruction' manuals I have say anything about clutch adjustment.  I am familiar with Burman, AMC, Triumph and Commando clutches but I am not sure what I am dealing with here.

Hello all. I did say in an earlier post that when solved my electrical issue I would advise what it was in case others suffer same fault.

My ES2 is fitted with a Monobloc although should "really" have a stub fitting 276.

With the annual wreath laying at “Pa” Norton’s grave fast approaching (how else!), I came across a fascinating piece surrounding the first such ceremony back in 2017.

I have a 1971 Roadster fitted with twin Amals which have bell mouths instead of the standard air filter and have a balance pipe connecting the two inlet manifolds.

Hello All.

I would like to replace the small bush in the end cover of my starter motor and the oil seal in the drive end. Does anyone know where I can get them from or know the part numbers. 

Thanks Peter

Hello all,

Commando 1970 Desert Sled

Can anyone advise me where I can buy a longer than standard kick start lever for a Norton 650SS? to help with starting.

Sorry if this is an old chestnut, My 74 Mk 2a has always worn EBC Double H sintered pads in the 10 years plus that i have had it,  the type recommended for Triumph Twins of a similar vintage,but the stress is on  "Worn" .  Nothing wrong with the p

I hope this does not turn out to be a leftover part but I am trying to find out where a washer goes. This washer fell off when the timing cover was removed on my 65 Atlas.

Good Evening,

I was hoping you all may be able to help, i bid at a recent auction for collection of early gearbox's i was told that one of them was an early Norton box?. I have attached some pictures so any help would be very helpful.

I’m rebuilding a 1940 WD 16h and looking for advice on where to route the oil pipe which comes off the primary drive side, crank case breather pipe.

Last time I changed a tire on a bike I was wearing flares and Straight Shooter was my favourite album. Or was it Physical Grafittee....?

A couple of days ago I managed to get lost in Kettering, Northants. Driving through a trading estate on the edge of the town, I passed what looked like an old-time bike shop.

Just taken the Dommie for a short test run after two changes (never change more than one thing at a time...I know...)

I know.. I should try to refurbish the pump (again) but yesterday's task was to swap the 'push to make' switch used to turn on the power when the tap is open for a "push to break" switch to earth the magneto when tap is closed.
