Re: Classic part

Hi Joe, It's Dean Harris, he kindly contacted me through the Forum to say he will send me some paperwork that by mistake is given to him instead of going with the Classic. I don't think Dean has parts of the Classic, otherwise he would have mentioned it. He just said paperwork. This will soon arrive...

Re: Commander rear brake disc

John, that is not a vented disc! A vented disc is cooled via the centre through fins.

Re: Starting up procedure

I've read somewhere (Andy Watts?) that pulling the oilpumpcable from a Norton up to maximum with an idling engine doesn't make the pump deliver more lube?
The rearwheel/gearbox must turn for the pump to work?
A lecture in oilpumpworkings is welcome.... Very Happy

Re: Parts general

Is it a lot of work per lens? Or can you make several in one go?
Any ideas pricewise?
I would love to buy a few in case off ever needing them. Red and yellow.

Re: Parts general

Wasn't there a privat person who could make them at home? He also made them for Suzuki Kettles? I think i've read about it on this Forum?
He made silicon moulds i recall, in wich he made the lenses?
If anyone know who he is, perhaps we could ask him to make a batch.

Re: Parts general

Thanks again Richard!

Who actually made the rearlightunits? No more to be had?
Any ideas as to why there are no more of the units/lenses? Or, are they all being used up making old Interpol 2's into Classic-replicas? smiley

Parts general

While reading some old Classic Bike magazines, i came across a story on Rotary bikes. While telling the story of the Classic, they said that the rearlight of a Classic is from a Aston Martin Lagonda??!! Could this possibly be true?? Hope not, as A/N has no rearlight in stock and in the case you ever...

Sorry, silly question perhaps; what could be a reason for a change of registration-number on a motorbike, as at the same time the bike didn't change the owner. Where i live, in the Netherlands, a motorbike gets a registration-number for live. If a bike has had 10 owners in 10 year,s all the owners w...

Anyone knows what the metalicgrey-paint on a Classic is comparable with? Could i use a certain metalicgreycolor from a modern VW or Vauxhall that is a perfect match? Or is there a Norton colorcode?
