Nipple
A solder-on cable end nipple used to terminate control cables on clutch, throttle, and brake setups.
NS191 is a cable nipple, the small solder-on fitting that terminates the end of a control cable so it can hook into the lever or twistgrip mechanism. It shows up across the control cable figures in our records, including the ones covering American-style handlebars and the T120R twistgrip setup, so it's a common wear-and-replace item on clutch, throttle, and brake cables of that era.

When a cable strand frays or the old nipple works loose, this is the part that gets swapped in rather than replacing the whole cable assembly, assuming the cable itself is still sound. It's a small, inexpensive piece to keep a couple of on hand in the parts bin.
We show this part appearing across a wide span of catalog years and a large number of listings, so it's clearly a long-running standard fitting rather than something tied to one specific model. Bring in the cable or the lever end you're matching it to if you're not sure it's the right nipple for your application.
