    Really? I wasn't aware of that being a rare thing?

            I don't remember seeing a lift handle on the right side of any bike, wonder did it have a lift pedal on the right side of the center stand also?

                Just a lift peddle on the normal left side....but mine has the bar on both sides....handy for strapping luggage down

                  Ok now I'm going out to the garage to take a closer look.....lol

                    Really looks OEM, but never seen it before nor is it on any parts lists. Does the one on the right mount to a drilled and tapped hole in the box part of the frame as the left side does. Does it look fabricated or OEM? Sure would be handy for bungee cord hook.

                      Or picking her up when she falls on the right side. As I learned a few weeks ago.
