Middle lug and stem
Middle lug and stem for the 3TA/5TA telescopic front fork, tying the fork legs together at the steering head.
This is the middle lug and stem for the telescopic front fork on the 3TA and 5TA models, listed in the parts books under 97-1665 with the older H1665 number also on file. The middle lug sits partway up the fork assembly and carries the steering stem, tying the fork legs together and giving the front end its pivot point at the headstock.

Our catalog record for this part spans 1964 to 1965 and shows it appearing across a handful of fork listings for these models. If you're chasing this part for a 3TA or 5TA front end, it's worth double-checking against your bike's actual fork setup before ordering, since fork components changed over the years and lugs aren't always interchangeable across variations.
If you've got the old H1665 number written down from a parts book, that's the same physical component as 97-1665 — just the earlier reference form.
