1958 Norton 19S 600cc
Price now reduced to SOLD from SOLD. This lovely late Model 19S is being offered by us on behalf of the owner. Here is his information on the bike.
This is a Norton Model 19S, first registered 11 November 1958. So it is a
600cc, overhead valve, single. Iron barrel and Alfin alloy head. It has the AMC gearbox common to many later Nortons, AJS Matchless etc. Road holder forks and swinging arm. Full width hubs and front brake. The front brake is excellent, relined and machined to fit hub by Classic Brake Services. Wheels rebuilt on new rims. Smiths 120MPH chronometric speedo reconditioned
about 10 years ago. Showing 5500 miles since.
I have owned the bike since 1988 and used it on a reasonably regular basis
during most summers. Usually for longer runs and IOM trips. I have probably covered 10,000 miles on this bike. Always got me home!
Anything that required attention has now been done! Earlier nut and bolt restoration including painting all tinware, tank and frame. Engine and gearbox in good condition, no smoke or noises. Chains, cables all in good condition. Mag and Dyno reconditioned. Modern solid state Voltage Control Box. Rewired throughout. All electrics, ignition, horn, charging and lights working. New Amal monobloc carburettor, correctly tuned and jetted for modern fuel.
The bike starts easily and is a comfortable ride on modern A-roads. Can maintain 60-70MPH with some in hand. Handles and stops well.
More recently the engine has had a top end strip in order to hone and
re-ring. All oil ways blown through. Oil pump checked. Mains and big end
checked. Small end replaced and honed to fit gudgeon pin
UK Paperwork is all correct and in my name. Registered as "Historic
Vehicle”, so no MoT or Tax required. Ready to ride away!
Documentation includes V5C, Norton Owners Club dating certificate and a Photocopy of Norton publication P96, the “Maintenance Manual and Instruction Book 1957-58.
