As well as repairing Norton Exhaust Ports
Precision Cycle in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada is also replacing guides and cutting seats as I’ve had lots of requests for these services. Also offering vapor Honing services.

My mate Bob Rosenthal was an A Grade rider in the old days and is a current road race champion. Even he said 'a steering damper compensates for bad handling'. To ride a motorcycle really fast, it must have what might be described as 'bad handling'. Peter Willams specified race handling for the first Commandos and was embarrassed when people started crashing. The handling which is needed at high speeds is different from what is needed at low speeds.

Errrrrm (Norton exhaust thread repair) ??
 
Wouldn ’t this thread be more approprately sited in the Classified section: Vendor Info & Products after editing out Al’s irrelevant posts?
 
I recently sent an RH10 head to Dan for thread repair at Precision Cycles. Turnaround time back to Newfoundland was very quick, and email / phone communication was top shelf. I am very pleased with his work.

Cheers,
Gatsby

If exhaust pipes are rubber mounted and held to the cylinder head with slip-joints and springs, exhaust port repairs should never be needed. Japanese motorcycles became expert when designs from other countries were copied, however the British are too proud. When the Commando needed a steering damper, it did not get one, probably because a steering damper might be an admission of a handling problem. Every fast motorcycle has that handling problem ! A Commando is faster than most other British motorcycles . Some people are defeated by their own mindset.
