Norton Steering Head Bearing
A steering head bearing for the front fork pivot assembly, listed in catalogs from 1971 to 1973.
This is a steering head bearing, part of the assembly that lets the front forks pivot in the frame's steering head. It shows up in the parts-book listings covering the front forks, steering lock, and steering head bearings as a group, which is where you'd expect a bearing like this to live.

The steering head bearing takes the load between the fork yokes and the frame, and it's what keeps the front end turning smoothly instead of feeling notchy or loose at the bars. Catalog listings for this part number run from 1971 to 1973, though our records don't spell out which specific model years or bikes it was fitted to beyond that.
If you're rebuilding the steering head or chasing play in the front end, this is the kind of part worth checking closely alongside its mating races and cups. Call the shop if you want us to confirm fitment before you order.
