New Member - ebay bargain?!

Forums

Hi, well after a gap of 40 years I've bought myself another Jubilee (on ebay) and its in kit form. Because it's not totally original I'm not fussed about making a few period mods

My first 250 and my first Norton:-

not the most reliable bike I've ever owned! mostly due to a cracked piston (which I still have!) and the notorious gearbox bush which Court Engineering in Yetminster fixed.

The bike Ive bought came with a good set of roadholder forks, so I may be on the look out for an electra front member or is that just wishful thinking? I'd also like to squeeze a few more HP out the motor if its possible - but all in keeping with the period.

I hope to put together as much as I can over the weekend to see what I'm missing and will post some pics with my wish list

Yes abosolutely! its a 17 with matching engine and frame numbers, the PO bought it with Puch forks (and bought a navigator front end to fit to it, but never finished it.

The central frame member seems to have had some repair, is this a weak point?

If it has Roadholder forks are you sure that it is not a Navigator?
