Norton Model 88 Dominator DE-LUXE

This year Norton introduce the De-Luxe model of the famous Dominators - better looking, more powerful, more comfortable than ever. By partially enclosing the rear end of the machine, this model has been given the new body-styled look which, together with the smart two-tone colour scheme, makes the Dominator De-Luxe a very attractive machine. A more comfortable riding position has been achieved by slimming the new two-tone tank, frame and dual seat. Engine performance has been improved by fitting absorption type silencers, a modified valve lift curve, improvements to inlet manifolds and a restyled cylinder head and barrel. Full advantage is taken of improved engine performance by modified gear ratios and by introducing a bonded clutch. Straight handlebars can be specified. Totally enclosed rear chain case, polished ports, high-compression pistons, 8-2 to 1, are available as optional extras.

The 88 De-Luxe is a 500 c.c. version of the 99 De-Luxe, incorporating all the new features with the exception of the new cylinder barrel. High compression pistons 9 0-1 available as an extra.
