Johnny,
I had a 1984 one that I bought in 85, and is long since gone from this world. It did not have them. There are so few of these still running, I doubt it would be worth the effort to produce them. Just my humble opinion.

Well, John, according to the big book of numbers, North America didn't get any GT185s with a grab rail because I can't see a number in the book for those.
However.....there WAS a carrier offered under part number 46310-36000. It fits all years of the GT185. A little detective work shows that it also fits the GT125 which was never sold over here. I'm not sure which markets got that little tiddler.
As to whether or not there's a market for such a thing, I wouldn't even venture a guess.

thanks guys. I'll give this one a miss.
the tank racks and the early T500(68/69)aren't selling to well either now.
so I will discontinue making these.

This was my first bike at the age of 10. Used to buzz around the dirt roads and trails of texas with it. Have many fond memories. No grab rail on it though.
