FRONT BRAKE AND AIR LEVER ASSEMBLY (Ball-end)
Front brake and air lever assembly with ball-end lever, for handlebar-mounted control on the front brake and air (choke) circuit.
18/978 is a front brake and air lever assembly with the ball-end style lever, listed in the handlebar and control lever section of the parts books. It's the lever cluster that mounts on the bars, working the front brake cable on one side and the air (choke) control on the other, depending on how the bike was set up.

This is a lever assembly, not just a bare lever, so it covers the pivot and body that bolts to the handlebar, not just the friction-fit blade. It shows up across catalog entries from 1965 to 1968, so it's a control-lever part with a run of years behind it in our records, but we don't have anything narrowing it to one specific model in that span.
If you're chasing this for a rebuild, check what your bar clamp and cable ends look like before ordering, since lever assemblies in this era came in more than one configuration. Give us a call if you want help confirming what's on your bike before you commit to this one.
