All 650Fs Grab rail

Sounds like a seat hump would be a good buy then.

It's in your grasp with a bit of effort.

The ability to build one isn't the question, it's the time. I simply don't have the time to measure, remeasure, weld, reweld, finish it, change it, paint it, decide it's not straight enough, reweld it, re-paint it, etc.

If I can buy it ready to bolt on and use, that's more time I have to ride or do the other things I never have time to do with the wife. That is well worth the cost to me.

I see you're point.For me not having a grab rail was not an option if I wanted the wife on the back, and i did not like what was available.

Sounds like you need to order a seat cowl.

What equipment would I need to build it? a tube bender and welder? Do you have the measurements you used?

I have been looking for an excuse to get a small welder.

 

[ADIOS600]

No need for tube bender.I used a Cbr600f 2011 grab rail,cut in the correct place to make your shape.Make two lugs for the front,then used some 5mm flat for underseat bracket.The hardest part was making the underseat bracket and the individual pieces to go around the seat lip,but you may come up with a better way of fixing the rear of the grab rail. And of course a mig welder. Hope this helps, if I can be of any more assistance no problem. PS I made it in sections because I did not have a workshop just a garden shed,then took it to my mates workshop and borrowed his welder.

Do you have any photo's of the bits you used or when its fitted to the bike?

 

[ADIOS600]

No I did not take any,i could take an underseat picture if you like.

If you get chance that would be great

I wish it was possible but it's not.My situation does not allow that commitment.You could do the grab rail and front brackets yourself,and then get a fabricator to make the underseat bracket. I will happily give you all the help I can.

Hi great looking peice of kit you've made , what size tubing did you use ?
