Wanted - Wanted - 78 XS650 Special Seat Grab Bar

[Astrolite]

Looking for the stock grab bar for a 1978 XS650 Special as shown in the attached picture. Have what I believe to be an OEM Yamaha sissy bar in excellent condition if anyone is interested in a trade.

[Astrolite]

Yes please do.

Chrome is in good shape. Small crack on back left signal mount weld.

Original poster still looking for grab bar, first one I got isn't going to work out.

Is the grab bar you need a round tube type and the tail light bolts to the fender or the cast aluminum type that the tail light bolts to the bar?? I have both.

It is the round tube style as shown in MrBultaco's photo. Also looking for the shoulder bolts for mounting the rear fender and the inside and outside "collar" trim pieces that go between the turn signal stalk and the rubber mounting. Like the ones in the attached picture.

I have these pieces but my grab bar is different from what you need.
