I have a ATC 90 with an extended grab bar. I have 2 of them and they are the only two I ever seen. They use a Ct110 tail light and are about twice as long a stock. They are too well built to be homemade. I haven't been able to find anything about them online and they look really cool with the stock 90 fenders and they look almost as good with some gen 2 110 fenders. Its a shame my 90 is blown up right now, but it will get going again.

No one else has seen one of these before? It has this bar that drops down below the tail light to protect it. Its a really awesome grab bar and makes getting the bike unstuck easy, and I would like to know more about it.

Hey a better pic of grab-bar would be very helpful. The grab-bar is at the back of trike ! Not a tail light,not the front of trike and the dark pic that you can't see anything ! :lol:

Not aftermarket at all, they were standard equipment on K1(72/73) US90's imported to Canada. I suspect a "Safety Upgrade" like reflectors. I have 2 of them with the extended grab bar and big ugly light. Look on the floor in my pile of parts and at the back of the green us90 in the line up.

Oh cool. I really liked the differences between us up here in the Great White North ,compared to the people in the states. I guess the grab bars are kinda rare because they were only sold in Canada. Thanks for clarifying that I have a semi cool piece of history. Kinda weird how 2 US90 grab bars worked their way onto my 77 ATC 90s.

I wouldn't consider them rare so to speak, I believe the early ATC 90's had them too. I have one on my 77 now and I sold a 78-79 a few year back with one on too. They are functional for lifting and such and could stop a back flip in some circumstances, but I think they are butt ugly.

I guess the PO used mine exclusively as a wheelie bar, judging by all the road rash on it.
