heh DL100 looks very familiar to me
This is not stamped out. It is bent on a press brake. The edge is chamferred so it is comfortable on your hand. It actually feels good. The powder coating is textured and the same coating Yamaha uses on their grab handles. I can tell you it does not feel bad in your hand. There are others that have been using it here can add their thoughts. I really like using it on my tractor and we have been getting good feedback on it.Ergonomically speaking - they cheaped out on this grab handle. It's just a stamped piece of steel with a bend.
Design-wise. It really could have used a full curl creating a pipe like grip at the top edge. A pipe would fit our hands better than the sharp edge of a steel plate.
There is room for improvement...
