What is this? Never seen handlebars like this before

I may trade for this minibike. Looks like a knob holding down the handlebars. Home made?

Thanks guys. I am thinking it is the super sport. If I get it, I will take better pictures to figure out the exact model.

if it is the super sport, it looks like it has the wrong motor and seat.
