       have a 1973 NF ex Italian army. 2250km genuine. After purchasing
       it got the big C so sat it in shed. As I am 71 am putting a
       sidecar on it.  Have had the extra oil line fitted after a
       friend described what happened to his. The rocker was dry and
       overheated. Also have 3 other sidecars, including 350Jawa. Plus
       some velocettes and an XS650. The side car is the Bemmer (from
       India) they painted it in Army green same as enfield. Not
       impressed with the quality of the workmanship but have modified
       it to suit Victoria Australia road rules. Took the NF to
       broadford in 2016 when the V8 was in Aust. Went well but will be
       buying a new carby as cannot get anyone to fix it. I needed a
       stearing damper and found they are unobtainable second  hand in
       Victoria. Racing guys grab them. So I stated afresh and looked
       at the Jawa (638 from 1985)which is friction damper. Making a
       bracket fitted it on the underside of the stearing stem. Fits
       quite well. When on the road will be the test. A universal
       fitting kit came with the side car. So I used them and the bike
       fell over side ways. These are the u shaped brackets. Badly
       designed, every one a different length thread. A friend said he
       had used them on a sidecar. I said how did you stop them
       twisting. He said after setting it up I welded the brackets to
       the frame. In Victoria you can fit a sidecar but if it is in any
       way welded to the frame then you must obtain a certificate from
       a chartered engineer. So we now will make our own fittings.
