Magneto control cable
Magneto control cable (60-0260, formerly D260) that connects the handlebar advance/retard lever to the magneto.
This is the magneto control cable, listed in the parts books under 60-0260 with the older reference D260. It runs from the handlebar control up to the magneto, letting the rider adjust ignition timing on the move on machines fitted with a manually advanced magneto.

It shows up in the catalog under the control cables and American handlebars figure, so it was cataloged alongside the other cables that route along the bars. The catalog appearances run from 1960 to 1962, which is the window our records show it turning up in, though we'd confirm exact fitment against your bike before ordering.
If your machine has a manual advance/retard lever on the bar rather than automatic ignition timing, this is the cable that connects that lever to the magneto. Worth checking the routing and end fittings against what's currently on the bike, since control cable setups changed over the years.
