23.01.2022 A quick check of where carburettor slides & bodies wear, and how they seal where they interface!

23.01.2022 Norton Commando... 1. Maximising air flow to the exhaust valve regions of the head 2. Improved clearance for wiring & spark plug leads 3. Allowing easier removal of exhaust rocker caps for maintenance 4. Finding a practical, safe use for stainless steel fasteners i.e. not a life critical application of brakes or drivetrain... How? Move the coils inboard within the coil bracket using stainless steel fasteners...

20.01.2022 Prototype: Undercradle scoop channelling air upward between the engine & gearbox to: a. promote cool air flowing to the carburettor intakes, and b. deflect hot air (from the head & barrels) away from them

19.01.2022 Tuned for highway fuel efficiency when rolling the throttle on to overtake. Snapping the throttle to wide open (WOT) uses much more fuel but increases power & torque when needed. All without the lean-out lag commonly experienced.

17.01.2022 If only it were so easy... Norton Commando (pre-hydraulic rear brake) Questions: Routing the rear brake cable A. Z-plate: OVER or UNDER?... B. If OVER? BEHIND the steel plates or THROUGH? Answer: THROUGH... but, if only the steel plates could swap positions!

13.01.2022 Float bowl distortion from overtightening the two screws (evident by inserted pins). The bowl location hole needed to be machined perpendicular to the joint face & enlarged so the centre post could be centralised to the bowl & jet adaptor.

09.01.2022 Mini ball valves in use for unrestricted maximum fuel flow in race conditions. Phillip Island classic races, International series (Victoria, Australia) 2018 In-tank filtration & quick release fittings for road use... Norton Commando circuit for twin Mk1 type carburettors shown.... https://youtu.be/XICmbk_83aQ

08.01.2022 Compression gasket gone... o-ring sealing design being machined for maximum thread engagement with minimal rosette torquing required. Nip up & lock rosette, set & lock header brackets, mount & lock 'gutted muffler' supports vertically, tighten joining clamp at 4,000 rpm... test ride.

08.01.2022 The bikes may not go there often, but when they do... that's OK! In third gear on the dyno... that's OK! Roll-on or Snap-open throttle to get there, that's OK too!

06.01.2022 Looking into mufflers! Currently building a second set with similar airflow to the prototypes on a 850 Norton Commando (top right photo).

05.01.2022 Hot idle Norton Commando 850 Mk2a 1974 A couple of tyres ago...

05.01.2022 Fuel tank quick release features... Maintenance is simplified. A. Mounting Panel washers & pinch clips... B. Fuel supply Press & pull tube release fittings
