These are black gloss coated saddle springs, with a slightl barrel profile - of the type seen fitted to many Norton models, particularly competition SOHC (International/M30) models through the 1930's and 1940's.
Price is per pair.
There were various saddle springs fitted over the years, but if you look at many of the period 1930's and 1940's photographs of Norton motorcycles - particularly the competition/racing International/M30 models of the 1930's and 40's, you will see they were fitted with a distinctive black finished spring - often with a slight barrel shaped profile - particularly on competition and Works bikes.
These springs replicate that style and shape of spring and are UK manufactured by our main spring manufacturer, so are excellent quality.
The accompanyning period photographs shows a Works Norton from approx 1934, and other plunger framed Works bike from approximately 1938 and another Norton sales catalog picture of a (approx) 1948 production Manx Norton and you can see they are all fitted with saddle springs of the type similar to shown here.
We have also taken time to ensure the bolt holes are a good close fit to the standard 5/16" bore bolts fitted to Norton frames. The springs come black gloss coated and are ready to fit. They are supplied each packed in a seperate sealed bag to protect from scratching in storage.
We also sell chrome saddle springs from an offshore supplier, and although they provide excellent value for money, we believe these springs are of superior quality and fit to the original Norton springs (and obvioiusly the setup of these springs from a UK manufacturer is reflected in the higher price).
Update 15/11/25: Back In Stock Again. And when we first introdcued these springs back in 2021 (and have proven very popular since - we have just had a new batch manufactured) - I did say I would try and get round to CNC manufacturing the small vertical threaded pillars that were normally fitted under these springs (in stainless steel), and allowed a small amount of vertical adjustment to the springs. Well . . .unfortunately, as I updaate the listing in Nov 25 I have not got to that task yet . .. but know I will be making them at some time in the future - hopefully sometime in 2026, so drop us an email if you want to put your name down for some.
