Title: Wanted CB400/4 Rear Grab Handle, Engine Bars, and Luggage Rack
Post by: rbt1548 on July 30, 2022, 08:02:47 PM

I am looking for the grab handle that fits on the rear of the bike and bolts between the rear shocker and frame, one would do but two would be better as it would balance up the rear.

Also a set of Engine bars and a luggage rack.

Thanks

David Silver did have the lifting handle available.  Only fitted on the left hand side normally, to help lift bike onto centrestand. They had engine bars as well, but a bit lightweight compared to period ones.
For a luggage rack contact Renntec, they should be able to help you.

Incidentally,  if you fit a rear luggage rack you won’t need the lifting handle as well.

The DS part is a larger diameter grab handle tube than the original. I have a new
 original copy that I bought from a member here - it might have been David Horton he had some high quality chromed ones. Might be worth a PM to him.

Thanks very much, info much appreciated.

I did notice DS had some grab handles and engine bars, if I could get a set of the more substantial bars I would, if not will probably settle for DS ones.

The reason I was going to go for 2 grab handles was, I don't carry a lot and not that often, maybe a weekend cylindrical tote type bag, so thought I  could use the 2 grab handles to secure the bag to if I just put the bag on the seat.

I will have a look at the Renntec site and see what is available.

Cheers

Thanks for that I will do, I tried searching in 'members'  for David Horton, that was the name in the earlier post, no wonder I couldn't find him ;D ;D, was that not the guy in the Vicar of Dibley? ;D

Thanks again

My bad I knew it was Peter but typed David. I knew no good would come of a lady vicar.
