Norton's 500cc Twin found a new home in the racing singles 'Feather-bed Duplex' frame in November 1951. The new titled Dominator 88 was the first production Norton Roadster to feature the lightweight race-proven chassis. This was updated annually, and by the decades end had undergone countless improvements. Introduced for 1956, the 596cc Dominator 99 was outwardly identical to the 88; endowed with greater power and higher gearing enabling it to top 100mph. It remained essentially unchanged until dropped in 1962.
