In your avatar you say you have a 1972 CT70 HK1 in reality you have a K1... H means it is a 4 speed manual clutch. Buying one handle bar will be a bad choice. It will most likely be bent very different than the bar you have. In other words buy a set or straighten what you have.

I was told it was a 3 speed auto. Wouldn't it have a clutch cable if it was a 4 speed? I may have the wrong nomenclature.

That's what OLD CT said. K1 is a 3-speed, semi-auto. HK1 is a 4-speed, manual clutch.

FYI, there's one more reason why sourcing a single handlebar is almost always a bad idea. In addition to most specimens being at least a little tweaked, there were an indeterminate number of production runs, from an unknown number of vendors, over the last 50 years. IOW, it's very possible...and likely...to find new, or NOS, bars that don't match each other, unless sourced as a matched pair.
