Hi Richard Thanks for the help with the forks the bikes back on the road now, and Graham thanks for the insight to WP and your experances hears the bike back together with the F1

Hi I own both an f1 and a sport, I don’t find a great deal of difference between them, they are both best ridden hard and like to be revved. The tyres need junking or you may kill your self at worst or drop it at best, allow for a suspension over haul on rear and fork seals for front, gear oil and p...

HiI purchased go last week, a light f1 sport racing faring that had been made with no headlight hole but twin air ducts, the lower faring bridge is not there, where the curly wurly exhaust bits bis are, this ties in to what Richard told me, you need to cut a standard faring or use a race faring when...

HiI may be miising a point somewhere, however grahams boxes don’t retard as much as a boyer , you have to adjust the tick over, from 600rpm hot on my f1 with boyer with direct swap grahams box its around 2000rpm hot so on full advance regardless of temp, graham can explain this better than me, just ...

Hi all Got a few bits and pieces for the F1 and sport, thanks to Peter for the hospitality and nice to finally meet Joe, sad to see another chapter in Norton’s history come to an end, Regards Wayne

Hi Richard & GrahamThe fork seals are weeping on the sport, First Graham do you have any fork seals for the WP forks, had a look on the shop site could not see any, second, do either of you have documentation on overhauling the forks, do you need any special tools ect, or don’t you recommend I d...

Hi ZFDis there any stuff for the f1/f1 sport as its quite a distans/cost for me and if its all interplod, commander or classic stuff.Regards Wayne

Hi allThe commando spares arrived promptly from AN and all were as expected as original; and very good quality, rotary stuff still on order, this dose include an f1 lower faring which has to be madeRegards Wayne

Hi andyi will also have s seat unit if you end up getting some madeRegards Wayne

Hi AndyCount me in for faring and mudgard Regards Wayne

Hi ZFDHave I not just placed a very sizable order for a private individual, with your selves. I never mentioned costs at all in this post and you mentioned if there was limited demand it would not be viable for NML/AN re manufacture parts, I gave carburettors as an example because I bought the last ...

As I said the Andover badges are better than nothing, but I have picked a set of mk1 badges up, probably re-imported from America, They are a lot closer match if not original, the pressed in writing gives a 3 d effect. However back to my point, if its not economical to make parts for a commando be i...

Hi all I have just simultaneously ordered spares for my F1, F1 sport and mk1 commando from Andover, the rotary parts lists were compiled by NML and sent to Andover, as we are now in the 21th century and we can now buy our parts over the phone. I suspect the days are gone when we received the parts a...

Hi Peterglad to hear you kept the bike, did you know it was disscused on this forum when it was for sale thrapp/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=263Regards Wayne

Hi GrahamThe year i saw them would be 1990-1 on he jps stand, am i correct in that one of the bikes picture runs a standard commando engine if i heard the rider corect, and dose this is explaine why, its one of the old jps mockups.regards wayneps have you got any six speed gerboxes in, i am still lo...

hi andy the following link shows the twin head light modhttp://www.nortonmotors.co.uk/Prototypes%208.htmRegards wayne

Hi allI have always wonderd did the 2 mock up jps race bikes on the john player merchandice stand get broken up, sold or made in to running bikes, as far as i know the bikes had no internals.

Hi RichardWith only three bikes in existence with little chance of any more people wanting to make any more the cost of the mold mabe just one of the stumbling blocks, getting an original faring maybe the main problem as I doubt the national motorcycle museum will lend a faring out,If you hear of an...

Mr Garner told me at the tt the 700cc motor would have a lot of compatible parts with the f1 engine, the statement in road holder is no surprise, but to be fair to him he does not own the intellectual property rights as Richard points out NML own these , then Mr Garners team had no choice but develo...

i see the rotary stuff has now appeard on Nortons home page nothing new though its all the new commando or 3k+ watch's ecthave they actualy produced any bike and sold it to the public yet? regards wayne

Hi AllThe mould cost it is nothing do with NML its the cost from the original manufacturer, the point of the email was highlight an existing faring needs to be obtained first and the potential costs involved. My view would be your insurance company would not pay for full mould cost plus the cost of ...

Hi Allthis may be of interest to some f1 sport owners with a twin light race faring Following a request from me for a twin headlight race faring, i have been informed by NML the moulds are no more, they have along with others moulds have been destroyed in a fire. If an existing faring can be located...

I see nearly all references to the rotary on Norton’s website have all but disappeared and the Norton racing web site seams to be no more. wonder if this is a sign that the rotary is no more? Regards Wayne
