Circlip
A small retaining circlip used in the front wheel assembly, PN 57-0280 (also T280).
This is a circlip that shows up in the front wheel section of the parts book, PN 57-0280, also known by the earlier T280 designation. It's a small retaining ring, the kind of part that does one simple job: keep a bearing or dust cover seated where it belongs so nothing walks sideways under vibration.

Our catalog data places it in the front wheel figure, with appearances spanning 1969-1972 across five catalog entries. It's not a glamorous part, but it's the kind of thing that's easy to lose track of during a wheel bearing job and annoying to be without when you're halfway through reassembly.
If you're rebuilding a front hub and pulling old circlips out, it's worth having a fresh one on hand rather than trying to reuse a stretched one. Check your parts book against the numbers here - 57-0280, 97-0426, H426, or T280 - to make sure it matches what your bike calls for.
