Steady rubber
Rubber bush for the handlebar mounting hardware, cushioning the bar clamp against vibration.
97-1580 is the steady rubber that sits in the handlebar mounting hardware, cushioning the bars where they attach to the fork or clamp assembly. It shows up across a long run of catalog listings tied to handlebar mountings, control levers, and the front fork/steering damper assemblies, so it's a small part that gets called out in a lot of different places in the parts books depending on the model and year.

The legacy number for this one is H1580, so if you're working from an older parts book and see that reference, it's the same physical piece as 97-1580 in the current numbering.
It's a simple rubber component, but it does real work isolating the handlebar mount from vibration. Given how many figures it turns up in, worth checking your own parts book diagram to confirm you're ordering the right quantity and orientation for your particular mounting setup.
