Hugh,
Join the club!!!
Rotella DD+40 is here in Essex - as is Silkolene 2T.
I can get the latter over to (say) Uxbridge or Bristol for collection at your convenience …. the former has to be decanted on site.

The 18A is the one to go for …. the 15A used to struggle - especially with the bike used in town, lights on etc

Re: Injector Oil for W2000
No Roy, don’t fill the tank with 20/50 - you are right to be doubtful.
I am sure the Comp-2 you mention will be fine.

Re: gearbox oil
This, from Tony Page …… I can access the forum but can't post a reply. I've done 490,000 miles now on my IP2 with the same gear box. So, despite what has been written on this thread, they are not 'crap'. I have always used the specified 140 grade oil and changed it every 5000.miles which equated to ...

Re: Classic's and their owners
PM me the details, Paul - thank you.
So sorry to read that the vendor of your Classic suddenly ‘found’ the toolkit that should have gone with the bike.
Good luck!

Re: Classic's and their owners
I have finished writing the piece about what Classics are where, as known to the club. We can account for 50 .... which is 50%!!!
Which means there's another 50 out there somewhere!
It'll be in the next (but one) magazine.

Reading Richard’s post, I think it was the MZ1000 motorcycle that was a (commercial) failure .... not it’s component parts ... which were actually rather good.

Re: Supreme commander
Having MZ upside-down forks is the most obvious modification.
They were conversions from standard Commanders done while Norton was based at Rugeley.

In my own case (in a F1). I just ran the tank down as low as dared, and then switched. I had no problem.

Re: Lovely Commander for sale
Yep, the gearbox / shaft-drive of the R27 looks just like that of the prototype W2000. My information is that Hercules originally wanted to have all W2000s with shaft-drive using a similar arrangement, but problems occurred with agreeing a deal with BMW. Hercules had wanted to produce one of their o...

2 x NOS bearings, still inn their sealed Norton Motors Ltd bag.
Andover Norton lists them for £5.89 - inc VAT each.
Would £7.50 for the pair sound fair?
