Doherty Levers

I suspect that the fakes will have them as well......

What era of levers are you talking about ? Norton used Doherty pre-war and it would seem that they must have asked for parts without maker's name.

As far as I'm aware, they can only be identified by the style or, in the case of the A/R and choke levers by the rather well made friction arrangements which are probably the subject of a registered design somewhere or other that I ought to look up.

Hi John,

Maybe these will assist?

Otherwise, I have purchased some good quality levers from:

WITH correct 7/8" centers and with or without adjusters as per needs.

Good luck.

I've used AMC spares (Steve Surbey) as well and agree excellent levers.

Villiers Spares (http://villiersservices.co.uk/ ) also do 7/8" pivot levers much cheaper although I haven't seen their product.

If you buy the Villiers ones, let us know what they're like!

Hi,

Does, anyone know if genuine Doherty levers can be identified by distinguishing marks or stampings?

Many thanks
