Wow. I’m speechless.

Great video thanks for the lesson. I would like to ask. I have a Boyer ignition on a Triumph I picked up. Can I add a kill switch that shorts out the coil to the ground without harming the Boyer box? Thank you.

Hello there.......what's the status of the bike now?

Just give her a bit of time 😂😂

I was gonna be a smartass and ask if there's oil in the tank... So yeah, that's somewhat disconcerting. My BSA A50 (the 500cc single carb) has a leak from that junction bloc that we've never really been able to fix. We even machined the crankcases when the motor was rebuilt to try and get a flat mating surface. Obviously new gasket, a decent sealing compound... maybe I'll try the o-rings next, who knows. Cheers!

My 750 has a stripped exhaust nut. Now what?

Sounds great and looks even better

GORGEOUS example ! however you need to buy a BSA seat logo stencil mask from me and redo your seat logo in gold!

Superb work, how does it compare to your Commando?

I rode one just like it very recently, what a hoot! I also like the version with both exhausts on the same side, with that massive grill... they sure look good!

BEAUTIFUL

Thank you

This system doesnt require a battery. Or does it. I dont see a battery. Im learning and working on a 69 norton 750 with nowhere to put a battery.

Does this set up not require a battery. L dont see a battery hooked up. Im running a 69 750 Norton customized with nowhere to put a battery.

Cool sounds and looks ooooh yeah 😅😊

Sounds great, I may have an opportunity to get a Remus for my 2002 S off a 2005 BCR, was the install easy or any issues?

Varry cool😎

that is not a cafe racer... Conan UK

Made in england customised in the USA ❤🎉 best of both worlds

I just start mine after dumping and just keep the revs low for 30 seconds or so. Done this for years.

Sounds crisp.

Top speed of mine is 56 mph what are you topping out at…Tks.

And yes I flushed out the sump with solvent to get any remaining swarf, cleaned the sump screen and I'll flush out the tank etc. when I proceed.

Well that's a new one! Lucky in a sense, and very lucky it ended up in your care... I agree, there is a lot about the A50/A65 unit engines that really isn't great. I put it down to bad company management at the time, and I think that given another path in history it could have been developed into a decent, capable engine. SRM in Wales, UK are the ones developing these engines the way they should have been and they do a very good job. Good luck with this rebuild, I hope it's not too much of a headache.

Schlick. Great work

Great info. New slides look nice. Amal?

Just purchased a shed find rusty 1970 Norton commando 750 roadster, fiberglass tank, halo headlight old style tripple trees . I tore it all down and the main concerns are gearbox bearing bores and engine bearing bores out of tolerance. I didnt have to heat the cases to get the bearings out. Any recomendations on how to build up the bores and remachine like flame spray or some kind of jb weld or other ideas.

outstanding

Good info but please, please add to it that the heat is *necessary* when you're installing or removing the spindles to prevent damage to the bores in the head. The head is made from an aviation alloy called RR-53B, Rolls Royce grade 53, B variant. It's a super alloy, developed for Rolls Royce military aviation engines but the "B" alloy was designed especially for pistons. It works great as a head alloy because it's very strong for its weight but the B-variant is designed to "smear" before it cracks or seizes. The design is for a shrink-fit so that the spindles don't bounce around as the cam lifts the valve gear and drops it. Since it's designed that way, the fit is tight enough to wipe off layers of alloy in the bores if the head isn't heated. It is a danger when taking them out but it's worse putting them in because the front edges of the spindle being driven in push the metal in the bore like a bulldozer pushing gravel and once that's happened the bore is scarred and gouged out of round. Please, don't use a screw-type puller. The slide hammer is designed so that you can't put too much force on the spindlesm. If the head is warm enough to release the spindles, they'll come out with the amount of force that the slide hammers applies. Using a screw-type puller will apply enough force to pull the spindles out when they're not released and score the bore in the head. Don't wreck a Norton head, use enough heat to loosen the spindles and only use the slide hammer. Experience talking here.

Love that sound! Hope to see a ride video soon. BTW I own and enjoy riding “the nickel bike” you built in ‘08 featured in your first video.

Excellent video

Ready to tear up the streets, listen to that!! 🐯

That takes me back, started riding in '61, those early/mid 1960s Honda days of 50-305cc are fond memories. Getting out of the navy in '69, my best buddy bought a Triumph Trophy 500 and I bought the Honda CL450 scrambler, six months later I was allowed to ride a Norton a few miles, bought a Commando 'S', and never looked back. During my high school days of '62-'65, a Triumph was about the classiest bike a guy could own in our neck of the woods...

Nice bikes Daytonas. There's a good argument that 500cc was the best size for those twins.

Not the best solution. If the engine wet sumps in a fortnight get a new pump. If it wet sums in six months ride your bike more often. Best solution is a tap with a mag earth on it or s as kick start fouling tap handle.

Imho one of the most beautiful bikes ever made. Just perfect. Even though I hate green.. 😏

What a beaut! 🇬🇧

"Hello sportsfans" - I said it for you. Nice Triumph.

thanks for the video, I'm having trouble getting the assembled unit into place, did you put one side on once it was in there? It's wider than the frame downtubes, isn't it

Redline Dave here , I have been pro British M/C mechanic for 55 years continuous. specializing in Norton. Modifying motors works well IF you know what you are doing. I own the most "modern" early twin in the WORLD, and it works very well thank you . I also own the 2nd most modern early twin motor in the world. WHAT ? ! - Long rod slipper piston conversion, ya who doesn't - BUT dual squish Cosworth style combustion chambers on #1 , and single squish on #2 - my work , you or anyone else does not have that. Along with oil fed Dunstall cam and alloy barrels , dual oil filters in and out , crank fired ignition etc.

IVE GOT POWER TO BOTH COILS .. THE TEST LIGHT TO COILS TURNS ON AND OFF WHEN KICKING .BUT .MAGNET PASSING BY PICK UPS DOES NOT CAUSE SPARK?? BUT I HAD SPARK BEFORE 2 YEAR STORAGE BUT NO SPARK NOW ??? NEXT I WILL MAKE SURE RED GROUND WIRE IS GROUNDED ...WITH JUMPER WIRE........................................

Thanks for the details.

Nice to hear from you as always. "Keep your stick on the ice" - that's a new one.

The worst bike i have ever worked on as regards this

I recently bought a re-imported (back to UK) Commando mk2a Interstate in a sorry state...but at least the engine turns over. The previous owner, apart from the general neglect, installed a 'feet-up' touring footrest bar just in front of the engine barrels and succeeded in crushing the twin frame downtubes at the mount points. Getting those back to round again is going to be a challenge.

Wise advice from years of experience.

Loose those locking tabs, they are a waste of time👍🇬🇧

Awesome video Understand it well now. Thank you!
