1973 Mk1 grab rail

Wombat · Mar 29, 2025

Hi All,

Trying to get my commando back to original . Did 1973 Mk1 roadster have a grab rail and did they have pin stripes on the tank?

Thanks

I believe the 850 had double pin stripes. I am pretty sure that the grab rail was standard fitment.

Even if it didn't come with a grab bar, they are a very nice addition. Great for backing the bike up, pulling the bike on the center stand, strapping a small toolbag, or lashing a bedroll or tailbag.
