BSA CABLE GUIDE A65 TO 1970
BSA cable guide bracket for the front fork/steering head area, A65 up to 1970, later renumbered 97-2658.
This is the cable guide bracket that sits up at the top of the front fork/steering head area on BSA machines, keeping the clutch and brake cables routed and out of the way as the forks move. The catalog lists it as fitting A65 models up to 1970, and it shows up across the FRONT FORK, FRONT FORKS, and STEERING HEAD sections of the parts books, which tells you it's a small but commonly referenced piece in that assembly.

The part started life as 68-5137 and was later carried under 97-2658, so if you're working from an older or newer parts book you may see either number for the same physical bracket. It's a simple guide, but a bent or missing one lets your cables flop around near the fork legs and headset, so it's worth replacing if yours is cracked or gone.
This is a BSA part, not a Triumph one, despite living in a Triumph-heavy catalog — the description ties it specifically to the A65 line through 1970. If you're not sure your machine matches that spec, check your own parts book listing before ordering.
