I'm sure no Titan expert, but with it being too short it MIGHT be from a T250/350 since the frames/mounting points are very similar.....although I'm not sure about the width. Has there been any evidence of cutting/sawing on the inboard ends of the rear mounts ??
My WAG.....

I have all the original grab rails...
GT/T250/350
GT/T500
COBRA
GT380
GT550
GT750
RE5
TC305
none are like that. possible after market or home made.
this is the one I made but the front mount is my thought.
the original one has a bracket made up and welded. see for sale section(cobra) all others will not fit the T500...

The way the rear top tube is straight across rather than looped almost makes me think it's a stock H1 Kwakker rail, now that I look again. Maybe off an H1A or H1B ??? Google some pics of some H1's and you might just see it on one of them. Wouldn't that be a laugh if they were interchangeable ??!!??

Well, Ed, if I had an A model that nice, I'd keep it in my den too......but only when SWMBO was outta town!!! :oops:
I see my memory is not gone completely though. That Kwakker rail IS nice and flat on the top and looks similar (at first glance) to the mystery rail.
OK....how about my first guess ?? T250/350 ??? Anyone got one of those close to hand so they can get measurements ?? Otherwise, it'll have to wait until I can go up to the Water Buffalo King's garage and measure up his wife's T350J.
Strainer: If you haven't heard back from me on this in ~1 month or so, give me a PM to jog my memory, please.

My guess is KZ750 LTD
Would that be a twin or a four banger, Zook-e ??? Or do they both use the same rail ???

It's been awhile since I worked in the Salvage yard but I think both.
