Rotary Owners' Club

I took the dash apart on my IP2 to try and address this exact issue. I found that the lenses were actually painted underneath to give the different colours! Article in the last issue of Epitrochoid explained it, but if you missed it, I basically scraped the paint off then cut up small pieces of colo...

On my IP2, and I would therefore think it's the same with the Classic, the side stand warning light is simply to tell you the side stand is down. I'm pretty sure there is no interlock involved which cuts out the ignition - happy to be corrected if that's not the case?

A bit late this I know, but I've also got one of the ex-South Yorkshire IP2s with an 'A' reg, engine and frame number 3060.
Also turned mine into a special...

Bike now SOLD

Forgot to say, the luggage is of course fully removable - the panniers being the easiest to take off on any bike I've had.

It's actually lighter than a Commander, though I am always a bit suspicious of quoted weights. But it is a big bike. However, it benefits from a low seat which makes all the difference. I am quite short but can get both feel comfortably on the ground on the Guzzi. When I tried a Commander I was tip-...

Apologies, it's not a rotary, but it makes a nice stablemate. So if you are looking for something classy to add to your garage, I have a lovely Guzzi Breva 1200 on an 08 plate. £3,500 ono. Near Warwick. Please PM me for further details and photos if you are interested. if it's inappropriate I will h...

After riding with a Classic that had polished silencers on a VMCC run back in the summer, I was very impressed with the finish and I want the polished look on my IP2 silencers. However, on trying to clean mine up over the winter it's nigh on impossible to get the original coating off, whatever it is...

Forgot to say that I don't expect there are any new cables around so it's a used clutch cable I am after - unless there is a new one you have spare.
Please PM me if you have one that you don't need.
Cheers

Anyone got a clutch cable for either the Norton IP2 or Classic that is surplus to requirements? Just servicing my IP2 and found the cable nipple dug so tightly into the release arm in the primary drive cover that I had to chisel it out. Probably not been apart for goodness knows how long so perhaps ...

So there is someone out there with deep pockets - it's sold...

Something odd about the clocks - lots of numbers missing on both the speedo and tacho. Not seen anything like that before

Thanks for that, but what I am after is a second cable to have as a spare and I can, if needs must, get one made locally by a guy who does all the Velocette OC cables.
I was just trying to see if there were any new ones left anywhere but it looks like there aren't.

Anyone know if there are any clutch cables about for the IP2 or Classic? Both Startrights and Andover list them as out of stock. Mine hasn't gone yet, but having been on a VMCC run last week where two bikes had their clutch cables snap reminded me that I ought to carry a spare. Otherwise I suppose t...

It was just under £15k when it first went up! Obviously someone had second thoughts but even at 'only' £12k it's still far too high. Be interesting to see how long it stays on there.

I was just about to post it up too but you beat me to it. Pretty hefty price tag is an understatement, and I'm pretty sure this one has been up before with its TRRL trimmings. I seem to recall from previous comments that there is no way it can be ridden on the road (because of all the TRRL stuff on ...

Here is my IP2 when I bought it, with a 2 into 1 system on it that hardly weighed anything. However, it was very, very loud and even after I bought a baffle for it, it made no difference! rear.jpg It had Geoff Madden's name engraved on it, so I assume it was one of his specials which I think he buil...

Has anyone got experience of improving the ride quality on the IP2/Classic? The rear end on my IP2 is much better after a new set of NJB gas shocks, but the front end is very stiff and seems unable to damp out even small bumps. As mine no longer carries the huge police fairing, I removed the spacers...

No it didn't. The original fairing and fittings had already been removed from my IP2 by the time I bought it, so I don't even know what that outrigger sub-frame looks like. When working out how to fit my Yamaha fairing I wanted to use the original mounts wherever possible, so I modified the bolt-on ...

It really depends what the red wire is supposed to be supplying and where it comes from, so impossible to say what it is. When I stripped out my wiring harness, I followed the wiring diagram in the IP2 workshop manual as closely as I could as most of the components were still IP2, but in the end I f...

The only one I can see in the MCN online classifieds is this low mileage Commander, going for (a somewhat ambitious?) £12,950:

Hi Roger Glad you got your forum admission sorted. The coils fit in the moulded recess in the plastic air filter box cover that goes at the top front of the engine. Coils go in here.jpg The starter solenoid is a bit more tricky, as you have to remove the right hand footrest assembly and brake pedal....

Looks like good news for those who invested in Norton's pension scheme:
https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/n ... n-millions

They look just like the XJ600F indicators I have in my box of bits? That's the model before the Diversion.

Looks good. Out of interest, what make of tyres have you fitted?

New tyres are needed for my IP2 but I am confused over sizes, as there seem to be quite a few different combinations posted in various road tests, the workshop manual, etc. They are all V18: 100/80; 100/90; and 110/80 for the front tyre. And for the rear: 110/90; 120/80; and 120/90. I have seen all ...

Yes, thanks from me too. Looks like Roadholder forgot to put the 'dot' in the email.

Following the mentions of the new gaiters (in both the latest Epitrochoid and Roadholder) that Chris H has produced, my order for a set is ready to be placed. However, the email address provided by Tim in Roadholder does not appear to work, so Chris, any chance you can post a reply on here please an...

We seem to be being increasingly targeted by scammers on the forum. Is there anything the tech team can do to purge it please, or perhaps shut down the forum briefly to put them off? I have stopped looking at anything on the forum at the moment as there is clearly something going on that is not righ...

We seem to be being targeted by some bizarre postings in the last few days. Are these mistakes, pranks or something more sinister?
I am not going to open any of them in case they contain a virus. The Guzzi owners club was the target of the latter earlier this year.
