Custom ’54 Norton Dominator 88

Stephanie Hronek's custom '54 Norton stood out amongst the classic Nortons we're accustomed to seeing. See for yourself.

Many will recognize classic Norton bikes from their iconic black and gold styling, so when we saw Stephanie Hronek’s silver metal 1954 Norton, we weren’t sure what we were looking at. Hronek informed us that the bike is a Dominator 88, a popular twin-cylinder 500cc model in England that never quite made its way to the States in any major frequency. Hronek owns Chelsea Motorworks, a small Cleveland, Ohio-based customization and restoration motorcycle shop. This custom bike is our Ride of the Week!
