RESTRICTOR,OIL DAMPENER
An oil restrictor for Triumph telescopic front forks, controlling damping oil flow inside the fork leg.
The 97-1499 is an oil restrictor for the telescopic front fork damping system, listed in the fork parts books under 6T and TR6/T120 headings. It's a small internal piece that works inside the fork leg to control oil flow as the fork moves through its stroke, which is how the fork provides damping instead of just springing up and down uncontrolled.

This one carries the older H1499 number in earlier parts books before the catalog moved over to the 97-1499 numbering, so if you're working from an old book or a fork parts list from a bike in that mid-60s catalog window, that's the number you may see instead.
Given how small this component is and how particular fork damping can be about exact internal parts, it's worth confirming with us which fork setup you've got before ordering so you get the right restrictor for your application.
