I am looking for a Passenger grab bar, to buy or take off someones hands. I know alot of ppl who make there GS a little more sporty take theirs off. I'm looking for one cause in a accident, mine got scratched bad and even bent a little and it needs to be replaced. I really don't wanna pay the local dealer 130$ for a new one. So if anyone has one around please let me know! Girlfriend really wants to have it as a safety bar for herself.
I have one for older generation....89-2001
That will work, how much do you want for it?
bumping this post cause I'm still looking for a passenger grab bar
$100 for one from a 91 GS. :D
PM adidasguy, he is sure to have one laying around and willing to sell.
yea, I got a bunch to get rid of but getting everything back in order as the new bike-cave is not finished means I only look for things for serious buyers right now. Stuff is everywhere and the cave floor has to have NOTHING on it in order to epoxy it. So another 6 weeks or so of everything thrown in boxes WITHOUT labels. (Sometimes we old blonds get lazy).
Due to final work, can't do anything for a week but there are lots on ebay right now

If you don't get one, contact me after the 5th of July. Think I have 6 or more. Can fix you up shipped for probably $25 with good mounting bolts. Would try for the color you want, but no guarantee (black, silver, yellow, but easy to re-paint). I have 02+ and 89+ but they seem all to mount the same. Frame mounting is the same so why change the grab handle? Main difference in models was the lower bars for strapping on cargo, tail light and the plastic side pieces.
This link has a slightly modified search:

I suggest get a good one on whatever color and paint to match. After all - it is for your PASSENGER. If not a possible encounter, then who cares? If a possible fun loving encounter, then let him/her hold onto you around your waist (or other body parts) Some of us do not discriminate against ghey, fat, ugly or squigley or straight riders. Being a RIDER and sharing your experience is most important.).
If for legal inspection to state inspectors, then anything will work.
Got one in the garage,...pay shipping from Houston & you can have it.
