Was the lifting handle ever a standard fitment?, I thought they were an optional accessory, neither of my bikes has one. > It's worth a hell of a lot as parts, mind..... If its as good as it looks it would be a keeper. Pity I have too many bikes and no available cash at the moment. -- 03 GS500K2 76 Honda 400/4 project 78 Honda 400/4 in black 06 Sukida SK50QT (Slanty eyed shopping trolley)

Some people think they were pillon grab handles, but they were only ever fitted to the left-hand side of the bike, and they were for lifting the thing onto the centre stand. They went missing because people put racks on the bikes, which meant removing the handles, and then they just got beamed up. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!
