Brake cable bracket
A bracket that retains and routes the front brake cable along the fork/suspension area.
The 97-3682 is a brake cable bracket, a small fitting that keeps the front brake cable routed and anchored where it runs down through the front end. It shows up in the parts books under the fork and suspension figures, so it's living down near the telescopic front fork and the swinging fork/suspension area rather than up at the lever or the drum itself.

It's a simple piece of hardware, but if it's missing, cracked, or the wrong shape, the cable can flop around, rub on something it shouldn't, or pull at an angle that binds up the brake action. Worth checking against what's actually on the bike before you order, since brackets like this tend to look similar across model years but aren't always identical.
Catalog records show this part appearing across several years in the late '60s into the early '70s. The older book number for this one is H3682, so if you're working from an early parts list that's the number you'll see instead of 97-3682.
