Dominator Model?

Previously wrote:

Hi .

I've just joined the Norton Owners Club and just acquired a 1959 Dominator in original intact but rusty and seized condition .

The owner said it was his Dads and it has been sitting under a cover for many years. He didn't know if it was an 88 or 99 . The Engine number is 22700 and reg is 289DYH.

Where would i find the Frame number and could someone on this forum identify it.

Thanks Clive

hello Clive Engine and frame numbers match on all Norton Twins Model 88 starts with 122P - 80XXX and five numbers stamed at the front left hand side of the engine and the frame number is on the gusset plate that holds the swinging arm stamped inbetween the swinging arm bolt and the top spacer bolt on the left hand side go down in a line ,the model 99 starts with 14P-80xxx five number the letter P is for 1959 and letter R is for 1960 I Hope this helps if you need more info let me know at annajeannette@btinternet.com or phone 01430430831 anytime ?

hello clive I have not had time to sort the pait codes for your bike yet sorry ? I will let you know soon ? yours anna j dixon

Hello,

I wonder if anyone could clarify if the Featherbed frame was factory-stamped anywhere else apart from the gusset plate? Unfortunately the gusset plate number is long back gone, and I can't see it anywhere else.

Thanks!

Hi Neil, I stand to be corrected but I think that the No. you describe is the date of manufacture of the frame only,not the frame no.

Hi Clive, I spoke to a guy in Edinburgh yesterday re a 59 Dominator, he said it was sold and gone to Birmingham. Blue tank, oil tank and battery box. Grey frame and stainless mudguards. was it yours?

Hello just a quick update on this thread , i got in touch with Isaak who asked the question about frame number location last night as I got myself in a dizzy fit when I recognised the registration of a bike I have had a few years, he attached his question to thread from 2010, he kindly emailed me back and explained about multiple threads and links and not wishing to start others I realised it was not about my bike. I have the factory records letter that Clive Bartram got back from the dating officer when I purchased the bike a few years later in the condition he describes,restored it turned out a lovely nice bike and pleasure to ride.

thanks again to Isaak for his prompt reply to me Arthur.
