Doubt it would fit ours Lou.

I would really like a grab rail at the back for passenger safety. My wife does really well to balance and stay put without one and she doesn't hang on to me much either.

The tailpiece lifting up with the seat on our early bikes makes any sort of frame mounted grab rail impossible as far as I can see.
