Z650 Grab Rail

[Jumbo]

Has anyone got a z650 Grab Rail for sale. Condition not important

If you mean grab handle then zpower do Repops. There are two different sizes so ensure you get the correct one.
If you mean grab rail they were only ever fitted from the factory to one model so are rarer that rocking horse shit rolled in glitter. They weren't a good fit on any of the other models with a tail piece.
About 30 years ago there was a guy up north that made a batch of about 20 items but struggled to sell them so never made any more.

I've probably got one give me couple hour's and give me a ring if you like PM sent

Do you know what model it's off Bill? I think only the csr or Ltd model had the factory fitted and they were squared off and don't really hug the curve of the models with a tail piece.

They will be the rounded of one's Warren

[warren3200gt]

The can't be khi then Bill. They never made rounded ones for the 650.
Are you sure there're not 900/1000?

[Bill P]

Don't think i said they were KHI one's

[warren3200gt]

No you didn't. So who made them? In 45 plus years of messing with 650's the only aftermarket ones that I know off are the 20 odd I mentioned in my previous post. Educate me.

Can't find the buggers anyway must be at one of my other place's but restricted to home after ankle op but
i have found some of the LTD CSR one's if you want one of them

Warren i am fairly sure the round shape one's were made by a guy in Sheffield and i bought mine through
Jeff Hall"s Motorcycle's , one got knicked of bike behind our local watering hole which was replaced till
i sourced another with a CSR LTD one

He was making a very high quality and authentic product but unfortunately there was one small aspect / nuance he could not reproduce faithfully so using the term; "identical to original" did not sit well with some customers. He was asked a very direct question; are they identical to original or not? They were probably 95% of the way there but no answer was forthcoming and he retreated with honour intact.
I dont recall which model these were for but i think it was Z1 / 900 series.

I think we must be talking about the same 20 odd aftermarket ones Bill.
