Middle lug and stem
Middle lug and steering stem for the telescopic front fork, part number 97-2280 (also H2280), used in 1968 fork assemblies.
This is the middle lug and stem for the telescopic front fork, part number 97-2280, also listed under the older H2280 designation. It's the fork component that carries the steering stem through the frame's steering head, sitting between the top yoke and the fork sliders, and it's what the yoke clamps to when you tighten everything up.

In the catalog this piece shows up in fork figures for the T100C, T100R, TR6R, T120R, and TR6C, all from 1968. It's a structural part of the front end, so fitment matters here — check it against your steering head bearings and the rest of your fork assembly before you order.
If you're replacing this, it's worth handling the fork as a set rather than swapping just the one piece, since the middle lug and stem works together with the top yoke, bearings, and sliders to keep the steering geometry correct.
