1970 Grab Rail

I have been thinking about fitting a grab rail to my 1970 S type. I cant seem to find them anywhere but one has come up on ebay off a 74 MK3 . Can someone tell me if they are the same please and point me where to look to compare price of this one,

Grab rails should be available from your friendly Norton parts supplier? An 'S' model would not have had a rail originally.

Note there are two rails available, as Roadster and Interstate rails are different, except the 850 MkIII rail which is no longer available new as far as I know, which was the same for both MkIII Roadster and Interstate models:

Later frames apparently had wider seat loops, so it may be necessary to bend the rail slightly in order to get it to fit?

Thanks for the info Lab,, i thought the rail may have been an option, i would like to keep to original ,having said that i understand there were no mirrors on the S either (mine has none at present) but i just may have to make an exception for saftey purposes

The only other unoriginal (is that a word) parts are the pazon i fitted for better starting . and i dont have the reflectors on the coil brackets, ( the price for them seems ridiculous) i hope to post a few pics of the bike in the next few days so that the forum can comment or make any other suggestions on originalty.and appearance, not that i have any issue with upgrades and changes to improve the overall enjoyment of the bikes at all. i just happen to like original. a bit like KFC never understood that spicy crumbed stuff they come out with
