American handlebar
The American-bend handlebar listed in the Triumph parts books, also known as H1873.
The 97-1873 is a handlebar, catalogued as the American bend, and shows up in the parts books under the HANDLEBARS AND CONTROL LEVERS figure as well as the section covering battery, toolkit and air filter. It carries the older H1873 number too, so if your parts book still uses letter-prefix codes that's the same bar.

This is the bar itself, not the levers, switches, or cables that mount to it - those are separate line items in the same figure. Catalog appearances run from the mid to late 1960s into 1970, which tells you the era this bend was cataloged for, though we'd want to confirm exact fitment against your bike before you order.
If you're restoring to a particular look, the American bend is a distinct shape from the other bars listed alongside it in that same figure, so make sure you're matching the bend to what your bike originally left the factory with, or whatever style you're going for.
