Just buy a 2004-2006 rear tail and swap it out. You will need the subframe to because the grab rail has a mounting bracket. Check ebay.

The subframe has the mounting holes ready to go, I just need the grab rail and bolts. I don't know why they're not on the Canadian models they're ready for them? Even the cowling looks like it is notched for it, where the lip is under the seat, there are cut outs on each side right about where the hand rail would be.

Try to find someone on the forum that has a 2004-2006 model and see if they did a 01-03 rear tail conversion....find out if they still have their old parts and buy it off them. good luck, but I think those bars are ugly.

Good idea, I'll do that. but as far as the ugly goes, well..... I want it for the functionality, not for the looks, and if I'm going to put on a grab bar it might as well be designed to be a perfect fit. I might have to pollish it first, but that doesn't take long.

What is its functionality? I thought it looked like honda put a mini wing on the bike........

Each to his own, but if you have ever been a passenger and you used that to hold on to, it is precarious at best. As the driver, I want the passenger to hold on to me, that way I can feel what they are doing and not worry about what they are doing, which way they are leaning and giving them more security. I know if you are male and have a male passenger, it may feel gay, but road rash hurts!

So the passenger is supose to put there hand behind them and hold onto that rail while your driving? When my wife gets on the bike she always grab onto my shoulder, no problem getting on, no problem holding onto me. just seems pointless, and an ugly add on. To me it looks like they just wanted to make a spoiler for the bike.
