Braced handlebars on 850 mk3

Was this a standard? One post I read said it was on the scrambler only, but I've not seen a pic of one. It's on my bike and I like the look but haven't found one in the suppliers' parts descriptions. Mine is rusted, not unstable, and could be re-plated if I can't find a replacement. I guess the cost will be about the same, maybe cheaper to replace if I could find the exact bit.

Yes, only used on the 750SS model and I doubt that handlebar is available now.

SS handlebar part 062399 which appears to be "part not found" according to the Andover Norton parts search.

Mine actually has a slightly curved brace which I like; I guess I'll bite the bullet and rechrome it.
