Norton Tuning
by Paul Dunstall
Paul Dunstall was undoubtedly the most successful and professional Norton tuner in the 1960s, the era between the works Dommi racers and the works Commando Production racers and later F750 racers.
His book was written in the late 1960s, before Peter Williams started developing the Commando-based racers to an even higher level.
Paul's basic principles, and most of what he wrote then, still applies today. Some of yesteryear's tuning lore has since been overtaken by later developments - the Superblend main bearings come to mind - but whoever wants to work on a Norton twin cylinder engine could do worse than take this book as a guideline.
Last printed officially years ago and since only available as low-quality copies. Now available in a new reprint with a 2010 foreword by Paul Dunstall.
Softcover, 32 pages, illustrated with photos throughout; 8-1/4” x 10-3/4” |

Norton Commando Buyer’s Guide
By Peter Henshaw
There are lots of books about the Norton Commando; about its history,
performance, lineage, and the minutiae of its specification. But none of
them will tell you what to look for when buying one secondhand. That’s
what this book is about – it is a straightforward, practical guide to
buying a used Commando. It doesn’t list all the correct color
combinations for each year, or analyze the bike’s design philosophy, or
consider its background as part of a troubled industry – there are
excellent books listed at the end of this one that do all of that – but
it will help you avoid buying a dud. Point by point, it takes the reader
through everything that needs looking at when buying a Commando, plus
spares prices, which is the best model to buy for your needs, and a look
at auctions, restorations and paperwork.
Paperback, 64 Pages 100 color ill Size: 5.5 x 7.7 x .14

Norton Dominator
by Mick Walker
The Norton Dominator - often commonly referred to by its owners
as the Dommie - was designed by Bert Hopwood, making its debut in
late 1948. What really made it stand out were several interesting
features such as widely splayed exhaust port, suitability for
tuning and its future development potential. Later, when equipped
with the renowned, race-developed, Featherbed frame and Featherbed
telescopic forks, it became a sporting icon. Within the pages of
this book are all the well-known models, including the 7, 88, 99,
650 and Atlas, plus the Jubilee, Navigator and Electra. Besides
the detailed development history of the series production
road-going models, there are other many interesting facets of the
Dominator story, including the works Domiracer [the first
pushrod-engined motorcycle to lap the Isle of Man TT Mountain
circuit at 100mph]; victories in the famous Thruxton endurance
races and the gruelling international Six Days Trial. Mick Walker
also takes readers behind the scenes to reveal the infighting,
both inside and outside the boardroom, which took place within the
Norton empire over the years.

Norton, The Complete Illustrated History
By Mick Woollett
"The Untouchable Norton" is how
racer Rem Fowler described his machine after winning the twin-cylinder
class of the first TT in 1907. The company would use the phrase in
advertising for the next 50 years. This book charts the history of one
of the oldest marques in the world: both the glorious racing tradition
and the production machines, from the first clip-on engines to the F1
rotary superbike. Interviews with those closely involved (including
James Nortons daughter Grace, who kindly provided original documents and
photographs reproduced here for the first time) make this the definitive
account of a key contribution to motorcycle history. Paperback - 7-3/4"
x 10-9/16" - 320 pp - 260 b/w, 2 diagrams
