Re:CURT: Re:Can't find this Grab Rail... 3 Years, 7 Months ago  
I'm curious too on what Curt might have come up with. I've been looking for one of these for awhile now.

Let us know if/when you come up with something Curt.

Thanks....greeny

Re:Can't find this Grab Rail... 3 Years, 7 Months ago  
I'm sorry I wished I could help, but the grab bar you are referring to was made by Langdon of Cutting Edge Metrics. He has sold out and was selling some of the left over blems he still had, they were a big hit and we all asked him to continue production. He's only comment for now is "maybe in the future", he is working on other parts for now. He has a thread on the RSR forum 165751.1 explaining the whole thing. I was lucky enough to obtain one for GF 2005, she loves the look.
Riders are always changing up there looks so ask around, never know might be able to find one.
Good Luck
Rick

Been looking for one for several months without success. Count me in on one Curt if you have the ability to fabricate them.

I just e-mailed an old Harley buddy that has a big fab shop and asked him if he had a way making the and getting them chromed. I told him I would draw it up for him and we could test fit them on my bike. He and I used to work togeather in the CAD drawing engineering area of Frito Lay years ago. I will let you guys know what he says meanwhile I will see if I can fab something like them.

Any news on the attempt to fab a grab rail, Curt?

So I'm not the only one with a distaste for sissy bars?

I've been looking for one too. Thought about cutting the stock bar too...

Re:Can't find this Grab Rail... 3 Years, 5 Months ago  
Well I managed to pick one up. I began by letting most of the RSR forums know that I WTB this particular grab bar. I had posted and was checking regularly for weeks and one morning I got an email telling me one was for sale on the forum and had I seen the listing. Luckily I picked it up for $140 unblemished and delivered.

So, post on here and on the RSR forum and hopfully you too may get as lucky as I did. I love mine and is a great look.

If I see one I will post on this site.
