BSA Rear safety bar (right-hand)
Right-hand rear safety bar for a rear carrier/short-seat setup, listed as a to-order accessory item.
This is the right-hand rear safety bar, 68-4937, the kind of accessory bar that bolts up alongside a rear carrier on a short-seat setup. It's listed in the catalog as a to-order item rather than a standard fitment part, which tells you it wasn't something bikes came with off the showroom floor — it was an extra a dealer or owner added on.

The figure grouping puts it together with the rear carrier and short seat, so it sits back behind the seat, bracketed off the frame or carrier to give the rider (or a passenger) something to keep a leg or gear away from the rear wheel and chain. Being the right-hand side piece, it's meant to pair with a left-hand counterpart, though we don't have a matching left-hand number in front of us to confirm that pairing.
Our record on this one is thin — it shows up in only a couple of catalog listings, both from the same short window of years. If you're trying to match this up to a specific machine, give us a call and we'll go through what we've got before you order.
