New member here: Who has my Dunstall Norton 810

that I purchaased from Dunstall direct and toured Europe in October 1972. 810 Mk1. with options: vin 1532xx I found some original papers and photos. I sold it in 1973 or 1974 in Ohio.

Welcome aboard Bill. Looks like a fun Bike. A lot of goodies were on that
The 810's are kind of an anomaly. Not sure anyone on this board has one.
The talk has been they didn't hold up real well.
Curious what your experience was. How did it perform? How did it hold up? Why did you sell it?
Tell us about your trip.

Thank you, I bought it as I had a Norton P11 and wanted a performance cycle. I ordered it from Paul with Boyer Branston igition, dual brakes, panniers and regular handlebars for two up touring on to the continent , down to Rome, back to Paris and then back to Paul's shop. He then installed the rear sets and fairing and shipped it for me. They tried to steal it in a park garage but, the gate man would not let them take it. It was never a problem ane I put about 1500 miles on it in Eurpe then a few hundred in Ohio.I sold it and other possessions while raising money to become a Kawasaki dealer in Marion Ohio. I just found all my paperwork , invoice, order sheet etc. and thought to pass it on to the current owner.

That's a cool story Bill.
Thanks for sharing it.
No doubt the current owner would appreciate the paperwork.
I imagine that was quite a step up from the P11.

Bill Sander, I think I may have your old Dunstall 810. I'm in Hinckley, Ohio, and I have a period Dunstall Norton project here with a serial number in the 1532xx range. The Dunstall tank, seat, rearsets, fairing and other period parts are still with the bike.

I'll send you a PM with the full serial number and some additional photos. Would you mind checking it against your original paperwork? If it matches, I'd absolutely love to hear the story and reunite its documentation with the bike.
