I am thinking about getting it my 1970 Norton Mercury on the road. It is basically a single carb 650 SS Dominator. It has 19 inch wheels front and rear. Apparently all the Dominators came with that wheel size, except the Atlas which has an 18 inch rear wheel. I wonder why Norton changed the rear tire size on the Atlas, and how it affects handling? The guy who owned the Mercury before me complained about how it handled, said it fell into corners, and experimented with tires sizes to change the trail and the handling.
