Norton Prop Stand with Buffer
Prop stand with rubber buffer, listed in Norton frame and suspension catalog records from 1971–1973.
This is a prop stand, listed with buffer, showing up in Norton catalog records under the frame, swinging arm, and suspension units figures. On a bike of this era the prop stand is what holds the machine upright at rest when it's not on its center stand, and the buffer is the rubber piece that cushions it against the frame or lets it sit quietly against its stop without rattling or marking the paint.

The catalog appearances for this part number run from 1971 through 1973, which tells us it was in the parts books for that stretch, but the record doesn't spell out a specific model beyond that. If you're matching this against an existing stand or buffer, check the fit against what's on the bike before you commit to ordering.
Give us a call if you want to talk through fitment before you buy — the catalog entry here is fairly brief and we'd rather confirm than guess.
We've never carried this one. Tell us what you're after and we'll go looking — you'll get a price and photos before you commit to anything.
