BSA Clutch cable (standard)
A standard clutch cable, listed in Triumph/BSA-era catalogs under petrol tank, twinseat and controls.
This is a clutch cable, listed in the catalog as a standard item, and it shows up in the parts book under the section covering the petrol tank, twinseat, and controls.

A clutch cable does one job: it carries the pull from the clutch lever at the handlebar down to the clutch release mechanism at the gearbox or primary case, so squeezing the lever disengages the clutch. Wear on these shows up as fraying at the ends, stretching, or a lever that feels stiff or sticky in the housing.
