OK.. so I know that the centerstand on the F3 might be a dream.. I'll keep my eyes open nonetheless.. I can always order it from ron ayers if need be. I read in the new "Sport Rider" that F3s had rear grab handles as well, but I dont see any on US bikes.. are they tough to find and install? Is it a big retrofit? The rear grab handle would make it easier to move it around my garage.. thats for sure..

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks
Adam

 

both the center stand and grab rails were an option on the Euro bikes. Center stand is a direct bolt on. For the grab rails you will have to get the tail fairings* that has the cutout for it. Ive seen all the above on ebay over the past years. Keep your eyes open.

its the side fairings, not the center piece.

 

There was a review of the Chineese aftermarket fairings by Redsintimidator. In his review he had some photo's that clearly show that it's actually the side fairings that have the cutouts for the grab rail. Your choice would be to either cut your side fairings, or get some European ones. Of course, you'd need the grab rail as well too.

This is Redsintimidator's photo from his review.

 

the grab handle bolts to the subframe so thats what ur lookin into if u get it
