I’m pretty sure the 2nd generation of Lakewood bars which were rectangular tubing had the extra holes for the J bolts, it makes way more sense if you think about it, because if you ever broke a j bolt it could lead to disaster.
Grady’s bars are the original square tube design.
FWIW, I bought my first set of Lakewood bars about 72/73 and they were rectangle style, with the J bolt option.
The U bolts as well as the J bolts give you way superior clamping on the housing spring perches.
Glad it worked out for Graeme.
