I know this has come up before but my side grab handle was missing when I bought the bike I am working on , just looked at David Silvers and he had an original around £36 and a copy at £14 both before VAT and delivery.
Has anyone bought the copy version and is it any good or should I bite the bullet and go for the original ?

When I was restoring my 400 the DS one was I think a larger diameter than the original, might be for the 500.
My memory is hazy, I thought I bought an original replica of the correct diameter from you?
I have the 500 one if I can find it in my loft, PM me if you want me to look for it.

I bought the pattern part grab handle from DSS and it looks good/is solid. In this particular case - though I bought all OEM Honda parts when available from DSS involving the engine/brakes - I think the pattern part is excellent. A caveat - I bought the part two years ago so I can't really say if the current pattern part is from the same supplier/same quality...

I bought a DSS pattern one some years ago to fit onto the right hand side. This was to help manhandling the bike in the garage, plus I did not have a carrier then, so it was handy for strapping bits to the rear seat. So, you can get 2 pattern ones for the price of a new one and only one lot of postage???
If you're worried about appearance, I think it looks like a factory fitted job!!

Ok thanks guys pattern part on order, I have a few screws to buy as well so might as well lump it into one order.

My bad it was Kent400 who sold me the grab handle!😁
I misread your user name.

Grab handle has arrived from David Silvers, looks good and not a bad price so will be fitted tomorrow if I brave the cold of the shed
