Damaged to what extent? Parts for these are pretty much non existent in an off the shelf manner. Scratches aint a problem as it can be prepped and lacquered again.

Good luck.
I’ve been begging Norton for dominator parts for 2 years and they refuse to sell. I find it hard to believe that they didn’t inherit Domi parts.

This is the stuff that really frustrates me. They have lawyers telling them if they sell those parts and somebody crashes they are going to get sued .
 
Cant see them keeping Domi stuff.....it costs peanuts for them to produce if needed, so why store old stuff that they wont use? It was probably skipped months ago....much like when larger bike manufacturers skip complete bikes.

It maybe that you have to take a mould of the seat and have it completely re-made.
I have just gone through this process with quite a large seat unit made in carbon fibre..This was done for me by a company in the south of England..
Can give details if required or you might find someone closer to your home.

Many thanks to everyone. I will contact Norton for the parts and I hope they have it.
If anyone have one to sell please contact me.
 
If you a Facebook member join a group called “The Norton Commando & Dominator 961 owners club” and put a post on there. Somebody may be able to help you.

I’m not quite sure what you mean? But for 2 years I’ve been practically begging them to sell me Domi parts and they first asked me to provide them part numbers of the items I needed.
After giving them some of the pet numbers that I knew or needed, they used the same old BS lawyer line.

I can’t see them not having Domi parts laying around.

I cant see them having any Domi parts laying about. Its obsolete stock. They're not a local bike shop, keeping parts on shelf for if someone needs to buy one....they're a manufacturing facility, for the production of new motorcycles....well, kinda.
Triumph bin complete bikes, so there's no reason why TVS would store some old parts. In hindsight, what I skipped before leaving would upset a few folk now :eek:

Where did I say that?
Yes, they bought a lot of obsolete parts when they bought the name....I know what they bought, I have a copy of February 2020 stock check. I see no reason why they would keep those parts.....there's zero reason to keep obsolete stock on the chance that someone might want to buy a part off them. They're a multi billion pound company....they aint bothered about a part that they can sell for a few hundred quid, especially if it leaves them open in any way whats so ever. Your number plate bracket is a prime example. Why would they bother to keep that in stock when they moved to the new factory? Its made from tube, along with a couple of laser cut parts....if they need one for a future project, they'll just make one. Selling that part to you highlighted problems. The very early days of TVS ownership you can disregard, we were in the middle of a pandemic, and still at either Donington or the temporary site at Raynesway. They're now settled into their new facility, and looking to the future. After leaving, I bought all I could for my Domi build, via a mate, whilst I could. Even better is I knew their pricing system of double the BOM price and add 10% to anything that didnt have a retail price on parts master....so I got some bargains when it was just Marie and Gaz getting by on their own with the tools they had.
