Goodbadugly Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 I know of a guy in Cape Town, if that will work for you then drop me a PM.ThanksA local bike shop said they could fix it. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1
mazambaan Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 for you DIY guys Nice one. I bought something similar BUT it has only one problem. Collapsed it just doesn't fit under a dirt bike and needs a bit of sliding and lifting. So check the dimensions.
Andymann Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 New year, and garage in the new house finally sorted means work can start on the Norton again. New Kickstart made from old ones (the previous owner clearly hadn't been too worried with starting it!), gearlever also sorted. Footpeg plates are now installed and the footpeg position is really nice and comfy. We have a bit of a problem with the rear brake linkage - the original owner used a cable which passed over the Exhaust pipe outlet so we decided to use a rod rather - it's ok, but the angle is steep - we might need to re-look at it sometime. Front brake is also sorted - I had to bring in the right 2TLS lever to match the Suzuki brake, and then took a few attempts to get the cable's sorted and the brake set up properly, but it's nice now. Final issue before we can ride it, are the timing chains - both are really badly worn, and not available in SA so that's the next challenge. BuffsVintageBikes, Headshot, Ed-Zulu and 7 others 10

Andymann Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Blast from the past...Dunlop TT 100s.. Beaut. Very old and hard! We just need to get the bike into a safe enough state that we can take it for a ride to see what the motor is like. Only then will we be able to make a decision on if it's worth throwing money at it and doing stuff like new sticky tyres! Hairy 1
the nerd Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 So the V let me down... Stator is fried, replaced the battery, replaced the rectifier and still no dice... stator going off the Dark Electrical to be remade I will tell you something, traffic sucks!

The difference 11 days can make.....Went back to see what the "V" was you referred to, and see on the 17th it was still perfect. That's motorcycling for you. the nerd 1

Spirog Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 So, after 35+ years off the motorbike, I finally bought one to commute. My 8 km drive through Sandton now takes a minimumm of 40 minute in the car. Twice a day... I pulled the trigger on a 2012 Honda NC700X with less than 30k on the clock.Writing my learner's on Monday, then hoping to add some useful time to my day. shova1, Duane_Bosch, the nerd and 7 others 10

Kranswurm Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Norton have gone into admin.Thats sadGreat bikes with a great historyFunny enough yesterday on the freeway I overtook a bakkie with a bright red Norton Commando on the back

Testing on a largely clear track with less danger of the argie bargie that was hindering in him in races last season. (understable crash and injury nerves) I have never been a big fan of him but his metronomic consistancy is a pleasure to watch, very smooth. Interesting too the signing of Quartararo to join Viñales at the factory Yam team next year. I think this will be a good combo! barrykm and sawystertrance 2
