DOHC F Grab rails.

Administrator

My bike is missing them. Really hard to use the center stand without them. Does anyone have a pic of the mounting points? Not sure if I can use stock rails on my bike,but if I can, I'd like to pick up a pair. Whatcha got? Thanks!

Don't you have a welder, and a cutting torch? Make a handle!

I can get you a closeup tomorrow if you want. They mount on the top shock post, and then back to a threaded spot on the frame loop.

I don't mind making a set, just shooting for quick and easy here.

Thanks for the pic Beekeeper. I was afraid that's how they'd mount. Not sure if that'll work on mine or not. I might be back for that close up later. Thanks again bud.

I took my grab rail off my K and I just stick my hand under the seat when I put it on the centre stand. It's really easy, but I'm not sure if the F is different.

... These came with grab rails?

I think I just figured out why I've had such a hard time getting mine up. I just pull the handle bars and stand on the center stand. Works every time it works!

Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?

Don't know what they did different, but my F is way heavier to put on the center stand, than the goldwing I've been fooling with. That thing just slides right onto the stand. Every time I pull the F bike up there, I have to remind myself to eat my Wheaties.
