Looks like your Speedster is a nice original.
What year is it?
In looking at those added straps on my grab handle,
the only thing I can see is that the mount pads
would have more bearing area resting on the straps,
rather than the "quarter size" round boss on the crankcase.
I don’t have an adjustment knob on the top of my carb,
and I don’t see one on yours. Must be a "knob bandit" on the loose.
Also, I see your grab bar has an "on / off" switch mounted to it.
It looks factory from here, but I assume it’s not??
Thanks!
UPDATE- found out why the steel straps were added.
One boss where the handle bolts on is broke out.
Hopefully I can fix that up.
