Sealing washer
A sealing washer used at the speedometer and tachometer mounting, factory-superseded by 70-7351.
This is a sealing washer that shows up in the speedometer and tachometer mounting at the instrument end of the drive. It's a small item, but it's the part that keeps water and grime from working past the cable or mounting stem where it meets the gauge, so it's worth having on hand when you're servicing your instruments rather than reusing an old, hardened one.

The part number 70-6961 (also listed as E6961 in the older letter-prefix system) turns up across a handful of catalog entries from the late 1960s, all tied to the speedometer and tachometer figure. It's since been superseded by 70-7351, so if you're ordering from a newer parts list or a supplier catalog, that's the number you may see instead.
Because it's tied specifically to the instrument fittings, don't substitute a generic washer from another part of the bike without checking the fit first. If you're rebuilding a speedo or tach head, it's a good idea to replace this along with any other seals in the same area rather than reusing what's already there.
