MY CART

We are away on holiday at the moment and, as such, Kingpin Components is closed. Our web shop is still open, so you can place your order as normal but we will not be able to dispatch your parts until we return to work on Monday 24th February. Thank you for your understanding.

I'm away for a couple of weeks skiing so I thought we'd have a look at some of the workshop jobs from the first few weeks of 2025

Assembling our Norton Double Barrel Exhaust Silencers

You've seen me machining castings, welding, and polishing tail pipes. Finally you get to see me putting it all together

These are as per the originals and are used to hold our double barrel silencers together. They're tucked away inside so never get seen on the finished silencer!

This 1934 Rudge was definitely one of my favourites at last years International West Kent Run

It belongs to @redhandclassics

I promised more workshop videos in 2025 so here's the first one. These tail pipes go into the double barrel silencers I make for vintage Nortons

Welding on these was done by Peter at @idimetalfabrications

We took a couple of bikes to a local show last weekend where my 1934 #Norton Inter got a prize for best pre-1940 bike ridden by someone under 40. I'd like to say there was a lot of competition but there aren't many of us!

Following a big investment in both time and money we now have control over the manufacture of these Andre Steering Damper Knobs. Because of this, we are now offering them for sale on their own for the first time - we used to only get limited numbers for our complete damper units.

Head over to our website to take a look. There's a link in our bio...

Next parts back in stock are our very popular Magneto Vernier Sprockets. Available in a couple of different sizes for #Norton #Rudge #Ariel #AJS and #Matchless these allow you to experiment with your ignition timing to get that last bit of performance out of your engine.

It's the finishing touches that make a restoration. These brake arms are often rusty and pitted on bikes that have been left - our stainelss ones can be polished or bead blasted for a dull finish, either way they look great and are available in two different lengths depending on whether you have 7" or 8" brakes.

You'll find both types on our website, a link to which is in our bio.

My own projects seem to have taken a back seat at the moment while I have been busy with other things. But this was my CS1 loosely assembled on the day I picked it up and it really makes me keen to get stuck into the next project.

What are you working on at the moment?

Girder Fork Spindle Nut Sets

Ideal for tidying up your old forks, made in stainless steel and available for a range of different makes and models. These are for heavyweight Webbs as fitted to late 1920's Norton and Scott motorcycles but we also do kits for others.

Kingpin Components will be closed next week so I can go and enjoy myself skiing in the Alps. The online shop will remain open but anything ordered while I'm away will be despatched when I get back to work on Tuesday 2nd April.

Following on from Tuesday's post about the steering damper knobs - we now have the complete Andre Steering Dampers back in stock. We only have a few on the shelf at the moment while we are waiting for more of the knobs so if you want one for your restoration, now is as good a time as any.

You can find them on our website via the link in our bio.

We recently acquired the mould for manufacturing these Andre steering damper knobs after the previous owner retired. We've had the necessary repairs carried out and some samples made which we are very happy with. A larger batch is on the way and we are delighted to now have control over the manufacture of everything we need for our Andre Steering Dampers.

We've had a big push over the last couple of weeks to get some of our out of stock items back on the list. First up are our fork spindles. We sell fork spindles for #Norton, Webb, #Velocette and #Triumph forks as well as the nuts, washers and knurled washers to go with them.

The opening round of the @britishmzracing season is at @brandshatchofficial this weekend. Unfortunately I wont be racing at this meeting. We haven't touched the bike since the end of last season but plan to get it on the bench and be ready to go again later in the season. Here are a couple of shots of last years racing, both taken at Brands.

We showed you our new Velocette engine plates in aluminium a couple of weeks ago. Now we can also offer a complete kit of studs, nuts and washers in stainless steel to go with them.
