Norton ES2
Well sorted, sweet engined big Norton single; one for the road.
The frame and engine are both of 1959 manufacture, the Dominator 88 Slimline frame first registered in 1960 and now fitted with a same-year 500cc single engine originally from a Model 50, making it an ES2. Engine and frame numbers are clear and unmolested so it’s an honest machine; obviously not matching numbers; and the registration documents are all correct. Mechanically very nice indeed, must have been rebuilt recently and despite a large compression reducing plate for relaxed riding and easy starting compression is healthy and it goes very well indeed. Lots of non standard parts including Akront rims and a very well finished tank make a surprisingly nice bike. LOUD twin horns, quiet exhuast note and engine, very powerful brakes and everything works as it should so this is a bike that will grow on you. A tribute to her former owner, sadly no longer with us, deserves a good home please. Purists need not apply for ownership.
