Have you tried the new Drafts feature yet? I just lost a long message today and learned my lesson. It is a good idea to save a draft of any long post you are writing. You can then just keep writing and keep saving a draft, knowing you have a backup if there is a glitch. The draft is automatically deleted when you post the message.

Hello all, I'm a new member to the Douglas family after purchasing a 1957 Dragonfly last month, my name is Stuart, and I live in Leicestershire UK.
The reason for this post is to find out what tools other owner use for the rocker cover nuts.
Is there a specific tool available to buy?
Do you eventually have to mackle  up your own tool?
Or is there anther manufacturer ei bmw that make a tool that will do the job?

I look forward to your replies, thank you in advance.

Stuart.

Hi Stuart
Welcome to the Douglas forum. The special tool to fit the rocker box screw is available from the L.D.M.C.C club spares section.
Best Wishes
Len.

Thank you Len,
I am new to the LDMCC and I believe there is a procedure to follow, so I will be in touch with them soon, I need to do those tappets  😁

Hi Jixxer.  I too have a 57 Dragonfly and am in Leicestershire - not had a chance to take it out much at all this year with one thing and another but fingers crossed I'll get a lot more use out of it soon!
Best,
Bob

Hi Bob,
Great to hear from another Dragonfly owner, mine is running too, but I would like to check the tappets over, they seem to be rattling a bit, or maybe this is normal?
I managed to take it to the final bike night at the Triumph factory last week, she got a lot of interest.
We could probably meet up in the new year, if that is ok with you.
