The legendary 'Featherbed' frame was designed by the McCandless brothers and offered to the Norton motorcycle company to improve the performance of their racing motorcycles in 1950. It was considered revolutionary at the time and the best handling frame that a racer could have with its basic geometry being the benchmark to this day. Later adopted for Norton’s road-going motorcycles first being seen on the Dominator 88, it has been widely used by builders of custom specials such as the Triton.
From a deceased estate, this unfinished project (Veloton or Norcette?) is an unusual combination of a c.1958 Dominator frame fitted with a c 1953 OHC Velocette KSS 350 motor. The Norton front brake has a John Tickle twin leading shoe conversion with the wheel rims being alloy, a racing single seat and a period alloy fuel tank have been fitted. A fascinating project just asking to be finished, with a lot of the spending and hard work already done, it comes with a V5 that matches the original Velocette engine.
