Good detail view of someones t-shirt !
Looks like a Bullet that someone has mucked about with, judging by the number of bits cobbled on, and original road bits still remaining - concentric carb, megaphone, headlamp brackets, no front guard. Could well be a later tank on an earlier bike too, just to confuse the issue.

The trials or comp models were quite specialised models, although most of the bits could be adapted to the road bikes, with varying degrees of success....

Hopethishelps.

Can you do a direct end-on view of this gearbox ?
Bikes are usually viewed / recognised square-on in profile, angular views make it a little tougher ...

It does look something BSA (Triumph Ariel)  though, not too big by the size of the mounting studs.

Cheers.

Just to clarify, is this to put a new tyre/tube on the back wheel, or to replace the whole back wheel onto the bike ? 
Could save a lot of un-necessary words/pics/explanation.

Cheers.

"with adjustable front dampers"

There are a multitude of possible different causes of a weave.
Tyres, forks, steering bearings, rear shocks, tight chain, loose engine mounts.
Large flappy sleeves on your jacket.....

You mention adjustable front dampers.
How does this work ?

What is the condition of  the rear shocks ?
What tyres are fitted ?
How tight are your chains. And condition and roundness of the sprockets ?
Primary chain correct adjusted, oiled, and gearbox solidly bolted in place ?

Incidentally if anyone has information on tyre, suspension, oil or electrical companies,  I would be interested  to receive it, to see if I can further fathom out what went on and how the situation may become rectified, historically,  to aid future recovery.

You and us all.
And Governments, and industry and working committees all around the world too.
Even in China, where such industries are absolutely booming - but also going through micro-production booms/busts.

In the electronics business, operators are shaking their heads in disbelief at the business practices prevailing - governments are giving assistance to opening factories to manufacture all manner of components. But as soon as currencies rise or fall against each other, another factory will spring up in another country, so as to shave a few fractions of a cent/yen/yuan/rouble off the price...

P.S. Has anyone counted up the number of motorcycle manufacturers currently producing in China - quite staggering. Almost un-countable even, unless you are on the ground there ? The associated peripheral industries must be amazing.
I see that Benelli now has Chinese owners - are they being produced there ?

PPS. Invest in electric cars and bikes - the next boom product. ?
Even if the means of producing all that electrickery hasn't been sorted out yet....

Ooops, sorry, Brazil.
There are several in Argentina, they have the same problem sourcing parts.
As we all do...

I think your "guy that is supposedly specialized in Dommies" doesn't know what he is talking about ?  The pics are only small, and its hard to be certain, but much of that bike looks authentic.  Certainly all the impossible-to-find bits are there.

The Model 7 uses parts almost entirely unlike any other Norton - so the mudguards, oil tank, toolbox, and even the mudguard stays are unique to the Model 7. From what I can see, they all look correct on your bike.

What are you missing in from the engine ?
Does this bike actually go - and just needs refurbishing ?

Cheers.

What damage ?  It looks reasonably original, apart from the exhaust modifications.

Parts for Dominators are quite scattered around, there is no single source for everything.  Happy hunting....

Upgrades ?  Keep it original, and buy a Kawasaki....

These have to be related to a Jawa.
Have you tried any Jawa bits to see if they are interchangeable ?
