HANDLEBAR WESTERN BEND - BY LFH NO SWITCH HOLES - Replaces 97-1870
Western bend handlebar with no switch holes, PN 97-1511, replacing the earlier 97-1870.
This is the Western bend handlebar, made without switch holes, cataloged under 97-1511 (older parts books list it as H1511). It replaces an earlier bar numbered 97-1870, so if your parts diagram or an older bike shows that number, this is the current equivalent.

The bar mounts to the top fork yoke clamps and is meant to work with the cables and controls specified for the bike it was originally fitted to. Since it comes with no switch holes, it suits setups where the switchgear clamps on rather than needing drilled mounting points.
This one shows up once in our catalog records, tied to the control cables and American-market handlebar listings from 1964. If you're matching an original setup, check your control layout against this no-holes design before ordering, since bars with switch holes are a different part.
