This 1953 Norton Dominator has undergone a thorough refurbishment under previous ownership. The restoration included a tasteful repaint in gray, complemented by chrome accents and elegant two-color pinstriping.
Powered by a 497cc overhead valve (OHV) parallel-twin engine, this classic motorcycle is paired with a smooth-shifting four-speed transmission. It features the renowned Featherbed frame and Roadholder front fork, providing excellent handling characteristic of the Norton brand.
Braking duties are handled by drum brakes, while the bike rides on 19″ wire-spoke wheels wrapped in period-correct tires. The contoured two-up seat offers comfortable seating for both rider and passenger.
Additional equipment includes an Amal pre-Monobloc carburetor, a Lucas magneto ignition system, and a chrome dual exhaust setup with distinctive peardrop mufflers that enhance both performance and style.
This Model 88 Dominator was acquired by the selling dealer in 2025 and is now offered for sale at no reserve. The motorcycle comes with a Colorado title and is currently located in Florida, making it a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored piece of Norton history.
