Norton Gaiter, European Type
European-style rubber fork gaiter for Norton Commando front forks, part number 06-5743.
This is a fork gaiter, the European-style rubber boot that covers the front fork legs on a Norton Commando. It sits over the sliders and stanchions, keeping road grit and water off the exposed fork tubes and the seals underneath. The catalog entry ties it into the Front Forks, Steering Lock, and Steering Head Bearings section of the parts book, which is where you'd expect a fork gaiter to live.

This is a Norton part, not a Triumph one, despite showing up in some cross-reference lists alongside Triumph fork gaiters of similar style. The catalog record only shows it appearing in one listing tied to the 1975 model year, so treat that as the extent of what we can confirm from our records.
If you're fitting these, check the condition of the fork seals while you're in there, since a torn or perished gaiter is often a sign the seals underneath have been letting water in for a while.
