BSA Spring washer, damper rod
A spring washer for the steering head damper rod, used to maintain tension on the steering damper assembly.
This is a spring washer used with the damper rod at the steering head. The catalog places it in the STEERING HEAD figure, where it works alongside the steering damper assembly that lets a rider tighten down the friction damper for a firmer feel to the front end.

Spring washers like this one sit under a fastener or adjuster to keep tension steady so things don't work loose as the bike vibrates down the road. This one shows up in the parts books for 1969 and 1970, though we don't have more detail on it beyond that.
If you're rebuilding a steering damper assembly, it's worth having on hand since these small parts tend to get lost or go missing over the years. Call the shop if you want to confirm this is the right one for your setup before you order.
