You could also turn down the main part of the norton front axle to 15mm, then use a bushing of some sort in the timing side slider to go back to 17mm. The primary side of the axle, where it passes through the slider, could remain stock so you can use the stock slider and pinch bolt as normally used. The wheel would then have it's stock axle size, stock bearings and transition to norton parts at the axle/slider interface. Since the bike that the suzuki wheel came off of was a 67 hp 750 cc bike, you wouldn't expect the axle or bearings to be a problem on the norton.
If you did this kind of modification, you avoid the "small balls" problem completely... Just an idea that only requires the sacrifice of a stock norton front axle to modify, new 15mm ID wheel spacers, and fabricating a bushing for the slider at 17mm OD x 15mm ID.
