The Dominator is a twin cylinder motorcycle developed by Norton to compete against the Triumph Speed Twin, originally designed in 1947 by Bert Hopwood, who had been on the Speed Twin design team at Triumph. Available for sale from mid 1949 as the Model 7, the new 500cc engine went into the existing ES2 plunger-frame/tele-fork cycle parts, a marriage that necessitated a redesign of Norton's well-proven four-speed gearbox. this design set the pattern for Norton twins for the next 30 years.
XWH had a replacement engine fitted about 15 years ago and has been unused since. It has recently been registered with DVLA and recommissioned with new stainless steel fork springs and consumables.
