"Norton Road Handler?"


          

I purchased a bike in my younger days, and never even bothered with it. I was just looking at it, and realized that it's a 1963 Norton Road Handler. I have been looking everywhere I can think of online to find out any information about the bike that I have. I would like to know how to go about restoring it also. If anyone knows anything regarding this matter, please respond.

All Nortons have Norton RoadHolder forks. If its a 1963, then it could be several different models, all with the famous Norton featherbed frame - by 1963 of the "slimline" type.

Model could be a 500 twin or single, or 650 or 750. The engine numbers will tell all.

hopethishelps.

P.S. the Norton Owners Club website has a good rundown on models.

Look for the 88, manxman, 650ss or atlas if your bike is a twin.
