SEAT CHECK WIRE,LONG USA
The long USA-spec check wire that holds the twinseat open, includes mounting screw.
This is the seat check wire, the strap that keeps the twinseat from flopping all the way forward once you've unlatched it to get at the toolbox or battery underneath. It's listed as the long USA version, which shows up in the catalog under the PANELS AND TWINSEAT figures as well as a mudguard/fender listing, so it's tied into the seat hardware on U.S.-spec bikes rather than the general export fit.

You'll also see this part called BB007 or D374 in older listings, same physical piece under different catalog numbers. It comes with its mounting screw, so you're not hunting down separate hardware to get it installed.
Our records show this wire across catalog entries running from the mid-60s into 1970, so if you're working on a bike from that stretch and your check wire is stretched, snapped, or missing, this is the one to look at. If the seat won't hold itself up or slams down when you're trying to work under it, a tired or broken check wire is usually the reason.
