Taper roller swing arm conversion

Forums

Hi all,

In RH391, July 2020, page 45, a member mentions a taper roller swing arm conversion that was fitted to his Commando back in the eighties, supplied by a Mr. N. Norton.

Does anybody have details of this, as it seems a good mod. to me?

Best regards,

Phil Norris

I have some pictures, PM me if you want them emailed to you. I have no dimensional data or bearing numbers as I have never used the scheme but saw the photo's on a forum and copied them.

Think there were Norton specialists who performed something similar on Slimline (and probably Wideline- are the swingarms the same?), as wasn't this something available for later Manxes?

I'm a bit out of my depth on this topic, but would be interested to know if this is still feasible?

... what the advantage would be over a good condition well lubricated original setup?

another way to spend unnecessary money. Stock set up is fine when in good nick, and maintained !
