Rotary Owners' Club

Evening All I've been having a bit of a garage clear out recently and putting spares up for sale on Ebay This is the only Norton Rotary item I'm selling, it's currently on Ebay at the moment... I got carried away and forgot to offer it here first red face Anyway, if its of any use it is here https:/...

Hi David

Yeah, thanks for arranging the oil delivery, your plan worked well.

It's also worth pointing out that the oil you are selling is in the 5 litre bottles, not the 4 litre bottle currently on sale.... so even better value

Cheers

Mick

Hi Ash

Any chance that you might have a grabrail to fit onto a Classic back end?

Cheers

Mick

Hi Tony Thanks for your reply, I've been doing a bit of reading up on the seals and your message confirms what I've seen.... everyday is a school day with old bikes... Anyway, the pump is all back together and fitted to the bike... I started her up this evening and all appears to be well, I'll do so...

Hi Anthony I've received the seal from Ferrier Pumps and a new overhaul kit from Startright.... just wondering I'm missing something here? The seal appears to be a two piece item and although the outside diameter is the correct size for the casing, the internal diameter for the shaft is at least 2mm...

Cheers Lads

Looks like the body of opinion is that an overhaul is worth doing.... so thats what I'll do... would be rude to ignore good advice

Evening All I've got my water cooled Norton in the shed for the winter to catch up on a few little jobs that need doing and a general tidy up... Since I bought the bike, I've put approx 5,000 miles on it and the water pump has given no problems and the cooling system is working fine. I've no idea ho...

Hi Jannes

Try these guys, I've fitted a couple of their units to bikes I have.... including a Norton Rotary and they work great...

Hi John

Don't worry, it's not a classic, you're record is safe mine is a bitsa... see attached photos

Cheers

Mick

I have the same problem with my Hinckley Trident, if I put it away with wet disks they tend to have locked up by the next time I get the bike out the garage...

I find a good well placed whack with a rubber mallet on the caliper frees them up no problem

Cheers

Hi John My bike had 93,000 miles on it when I bought it and now has 97,500 miles, I've got 7 others that need miles putting on them too Very Happy The silencers have been through two winters now and only get washed down after a ride with water and so far are looking as good as when they were coated....

I had my Norton silencers ceramic coated by Camcoat at Warrington about a year ago... still looking good and cheaper than buying replacements.

Cheers

Mick

He might have problems selling it where its located on Ebay.... nice bike though, does anyone know the bike or it's history?

Cheers

Mick

That will not hang around long at that price..... very nice

Mick

Hi John

When I replaced my Voltage Regulator I also fitted a little white box from these guys which powers up a red light as an ignition warning ....

It works a treat and I've fitted one to a few of my bikes ...

Hi Mate I've recently fitted a Shindengen MOSFET FH020AA regulators from these guys in the USA onto my IP2. http://www.roadstercycle.com/ Good people to deal with, they know their stuff and delivery is quick. Check out their website for different kit options Not the cheapest option but a great piece...

Looks good, not much information though......

Got the Norton Rotary project back on the road this weekend.Thanks to everyone I've spoken to for advice or helped with parts....looking forward to getting some miles in now.CheersMick

Hi DaveI've sent a PM to Rob.......CheersMick

Hi JohnThe cost was £170 + VAT for both silencers and £36 to have them picked up and returned by TNT.They had to have the CAM 2 coating because the surface was badly corroded, silencers in better condition might only need CAM 1 coating which brings the price down considerably.Take a look at their we...

Got the Rotary silencers back on the bike today. They have been off at an outfit called Camcoat, specialists in ceramic coating. Not cheap, but less than half the price of having to replace them and the finish is good up to 1000 degrees C, so should work on the Rotary...The top photo shows the state...

Evening All, just after a bit of advice....I've been looking at Google images of IP2s that have been converted to dual seat so I reckon there must be some information on the forum somewhere...To finish off my IP2 project, before a good paint job....I've just obtained an IP2 single seat and was wonde...

Hi AndyI know this is an old post and its probably a long shot.......just wondering if you still have any heat shields or plan to make anymore.CheersMick

Hi NedJust re-read your post.......the blue tube is a capacitor and is wired between the positive terminal on the battery and earth on the frame. I believe it was used to smooth out the electrics for the Police equipment and should help start the bike in low voltage or non battery situations.......s...

Hi NedI'm about to start doing the same on my IP2/Commander bitza......cannot answer your specific questions, but if you're after back to basics wiring take a look at a circuit diagram for a MK3 Commando or T160 Trident.They have a lot of the circuits you will need for starter, charging, lights, ind...

Hi NedThanks for the tip off about the wiring harnesses........I'm going to do a full rewire, but prefer to have a go myself.....always up for a challenge and should learn something in the process....but, then again, ask me in New Year if I'm still smiling.....CheersMick

Hi RichardThanks again for your reply, I'll check out the condition of the wiring and connections next time I'm in the garage and will probably change the coils as a matter of course, I'll contact Andover Norton for new coils.If you can arrange to have the box checked over that would be great, let m...

Hi RichardThanks for the reply, you are spot on, my system looks exactly the same as your picture, apart from muck and corrosion.........If you say it's the best ignition system for a Norton Rotary.....well that's good enough for me...so I would like to keep it on the bike if possibleI've attached a...
