Lever
A handlebar-mounted control lever, likely for operating the carburetor choke, appearing in Triumph handlebar and control figures from 1960 to 1974.
Part number 12/556 is a control lever that sits at the handlebars, showing up across a long run of Triumph parts book figures covering handlebars and control levers from 1960 through 1974. The description on file is simply "Lever," and it's listed under Amal, which fits with this being a carburetor-related control rather than an electrical or brake fitting.

Based on where it shows up in the catalog and a note we found describing this same part elsewhere as a choke lever, this is most likely the handlebar-mounted lever used to work the choke (air) slide on the carburetor rather than a clutch or brake lever. It mounts to the handlebar alongside the other control levers shown in those same figures.
The catalog doesn't spell out which specific model years or handlebar types this exact lever pairs with beyond the broad range it appears across, so if you're matching up an old lever assembly, give us a call and we'll confirm fitment against what you've got before you order.
