My 1975 T500M is painted and restored to look like a 1973 T500K. One detail that was fitted to the T500K but was omitted by Suzuki on the T500M was a rear grab rail. Although I'm not that likely to carry pillion passengers I wanted the bike to look as much like a T500K as possible so I decided to fit the missing grab rail.
They are no longer available as a new Suzuki part and I've been looking for a used one for about a year now, however they are available as a new aftermarket part made of polished stainless steel rather than chrome plated steel. So I bit the bullet and ordered one last week from classicbikeracks.co,uk. It arrived today and I fitted it this evening. It's a quality bit of kit and really looks the part.
