Norton Stop Pin, Damper Valve
A stop pin that locates the damper valve inside a Norton front fork leg.
This is a Norton part, a stop pin for the damper valve inside the front fork. It shows up in the front forks and steering head section of the parts book, alongside the steering lock and steering head bearing entries, which puts it down inside the fork leg where the damping mechanism lives.

A stop pin like this one is a small locating piece that keeps the damper valve positioned correctly as the fork does its work, so the valve doesn't rotate or shift out of place inside the leg. It's a minor part but if it's missing or worn the damper valve can move around and the damping action gets inconsistent.
Our catalog record only ties this to one appearance, for 1975, so we don't have a broader model range to point to. If you're chasing this down for a fork rebuild, give us a call and we'll confirm it matches what's in your leg before you order.
