Anyone have a 74-76 Honda XL70 rear grab bar for sale? I think the 73 and earlier Honda SL70 grab bar might be the same. Also looking for a Sensation Go Devil torque converter cover & chain guard? All help appreciated. Thanks

I don’t think the SL70s had the grab bar as it was made for attaching the directionals Which the SLs didnt have. You don’t even want to know what I paid for my last XL70 grab bar.

I’ve seen prices in excess of $400 on old ads that are no longer current that show the grab bar is out of stock. I’d like to know exactly what became of all these grab bars. Did they rust out? Did they get smashed? Also- Did the XL70 come with rear passenger foot pegs? My 74 parts manual does not show any, yet I’ve seen them on several bikes. Thanks, Gary

I have had several but have never seen rear pegs. The grab bar does pop up on EBay once in while. You can try Chris Davis on Facebook. He parts out little Hondas. .

I found one with lots of pitting. I’m in the process of rust removal. I think it’s too far gone for rechroming. Was considering powder coat in black or grey or chrome. How does black look with chrome signal stalks?

After going over my grab bar with chrome cleaner, I think its fine to be rechromed. Black powder coat would be a good option too. My taillight mounting is black and is supposed to be silver. I think the black looks way better. I was bummed to find out quick-glo chrome cleaner went out of business. I went to order another jar of the original and there are none to be had. Sad!
