4th gen passenger grab handle alternatives?


Recommended Posts

I've been looking on eBay pretty regularly for passenger grab handles for my 97, and nothing seems to ever come up for a pair. Is there a good alternative to be able to get some sort of handle back there? Can't seem to find an aftermarket alternative, wondered if y'all had any ideas?

 

Thanks

If the seller won’t ship to the USA, I’ll send it on, message me if you’re interested

There is a pair on Ebay UK for 30 pounds, around $39 USD. Seller does not say if he ships International, or give a price for shipping in the UK. You would have to contact him. I have not had much luck getting things shipped from the UK and have had to rely on friends there to accept and reship the package.

CMSNL in Holland appears to have some new old stock ones at the eye watering price of 118.5 Euros each, about $135 USD. shipping not included. Probably not an option.

David Silver Spares in the UK and the US has a good selection of used and NOS parts but only has a right hand one at the moment for 75 pounds, about $97 USD. I used them when I worked in England in 2015 and had a 91 VFR750. Good guys but prices are all over the show. Check often.

Lastly, your best bet might be a salvage yard. There was a good one just outside San Diego when I worked there and needed parts for my CB650. Can't remember the name but I can find out if interested. I'm sure there are many more in Southern Calf. have a quick look and make a few calls. Best of luck.

Try Craigslist but search for complete 4th gen bikes even outside your local area...

 

I scored grab handles for my 5th gen by reaching out to a person selling their 5th gen VFR on Craigslist 300+ miles away. 

 

I offered to send him $50 if he would ship the grab handles to me. He happily obliged.
