Jubilee front mudguard

Front forks on my Jubilee are stripped down at moment as I want to rebuild the front wheel with new chrome rim so I can't measure the brackets. The Navigator is totally different. From memory what I have done is just fit the mudguard loosely in position, then fit the front wheel back in position and reposition mudguard from there.

The right hand clamp holds the brake cable so it's the cable adjustment which determines the final position of the mudguard clamp and you can only determine this with the front wheel actually in position,

Well that's mw way of doing it. Maybe someone knows a better method? Patrick.

Happened to see a -62 for sale in Sweden,You might mail the owner and get an answer.

Hi Mikael,

That is a good looking bike and the asking price seems reasonable - I make that less than 2100 in GBP. (26000 Swedish Krona ?) . It has Roadholder forks so it's totally different to the UK Jubilee front end, Do you think it is actually a Navigator ? Or did the export Jubilee have a much different specification? Patrick

I am not an expert on the Jubilee but I do own a Navigator and once owned an Electra.

The bike on the web site looks a bit of a bitsa. The front forks are Navigator, the speedo should be in the headlamp and the battery box cover is wrong.

As far as I know the primary cover never had a small cover over the clutch.

Also I believe all Jubilee's had the skinny front forks and not the Roadholders.

EmailAndy Sochanik <lighttwins@nortonownersclub.org> and he should be able to give you the dimensions your require.

Regards

Tony

Hi Tony,

There might just have been an European export version of the lightweight Norton. I was speaking to a German person at the NEC last November whilst we were both looking at an Electra. He called it a Norton Jubilee 400 and seemed to say that there was also a Jubilee 250 and a Jubilee 350. The conversation was a bit limited as he didn't speak English and my German is worse than that.

That small cover on the primary casing of Mikael's find looks very neat to me. The seat also was 'different' as it is the seat from a De Luxe with the dzus fastener at the rear.
