Navigator front mudguard

Forums

Hello!

I guess the front mudguard is not correct. ( See picture).

Can I use a front fender from an Dominator/ Atlas etc.

These models also have the Roadholder fork.

How is the quality of the pattern parts offered on Ebay?

Yes the mudguards from the big twins fit as long as they are the right ones for the yoke width which changed 63/64?, Depends what you have already. The correct guards are very hard to find ,as are fork bridges and stays. How can you tell if pattern ones will fit?, you can not.

Hi Ulrich,

I fitted a mudguard from a standardJubilee to my Norton Electra with wider 7 3/8 ins forks. It looks good. Only the two holes for the back stays were in the incorrect position.

I would also suggest that the narrow, pre 1964 front mudguard from Navigator, Electra and Dominator will fit, with some work on the bridge piece, even if you have the wide forks with steering lock.

You will not be able to fit the wider 7 3/8 ins front mudguard from post 1964 bikes to the narrow 7 ins Roadholder forks. The mudguard will seriously rub the fork shrouds.

Nortonmade the Roadholder forks and mudguardwider to permit wider tyre sizes on the bigger bikes. No problem to the Navigator.

Cheers

Peter

On the photos there is no steering lock on the upper bridge so I guess its the narrow fork.

Can?t measure it right no , still have to get the bike..

Thanks for the info.

Uli
