Samuel's 1940 WD 16H

.






Hi Frank, i'm more mechanical than computer oriented, so all I have are a few photo's my brother took of the bike, some of the closeups I really like, but you choose. :-)
It' a 1940 WD 16H with all the wartime updates to 1945. I live in Maine USA and have been restoring it for a few years now after buying in in the UK.
Best regards
Samuel


The Norton 16H was a designation given to British motorcycles made between 1911 through to 1954 with various modifications and refers to a single cylinder 490cc side valve engine with a bore and stroke of 79 x 100 mm. The H denotes the Home model as distinct from the Colonial export model. Norton was the main military motorcycle supplier prior to WW2 and one of the main suppliers of motorcycles to the British Army in World War II with a total of nearly 100,000 produced. British Army Nortons were also supplied to the Commonwealth forces such as Australian, New Zealand, India and the Canadian Army.
