Hi Steve,
Here is a photo of one of my old bikes with a grab rail on it. I like to use them on a bike I am going to ride.
Thanks Mike

I kinda like the color scheme on that bike Mike, however, I've never really cared much for the grab rail.

Here is a photo of mine.

I've left it off for the restoration but may put it back when I ride it.

Blasphemy!

Actually Steve, I think the 71 GTO's had them. There's really nothing wrong with them, I just think it's more a personal "thing" like GTR vs. GTO, chrome tank vs. painted tanks, etc.  ;D

Moonpup,
You know i also like the small carrier on my TC 90 Suzuki and my TS 250.
And the chrome tank on my Bridgestone GTR is growing on me etc.
Thanks.

The rail is kinda growin on me. I think it would look better shortened a couple of inches to fit the seat better and add space below the Bridgestone decal. My bike in 67 didn't have one so that's probably why it looks odd to me.
