Can't argue with any one of those. Although I don't find the paint as bad... 8)
I agree with the grab rail problem! I know what I want to do to solve the problem, but I'm not good at fabrication. What I want to do is make a chrome bar that basically follows the same line of the grab rail, that attaches to the underside of the rail by the nuts that are already made in to the rail. The bar would be above the grab rail so you could not only tie to it, but also put your stuff up against it for more security! Did that make since? Basically one would have to have about 4 brackets attached to the bar that come down then have a L bend in it to attach it to the bottom of the rail!!gruntled said:A very simple change to the grab rail in the back. All other brands have cutouts where you could pass straps or hook items to. There is no way to secure anything to the rear of the bike. I think I am going to remove the rail & grind some slots into the bottom of them.
The passenger seat attached with one hex screw in the centre rear of the seat. (Stand at the rear of the bike and push the foam on the passenger seat forward, you'll see the tab with the screw in it.) There is a T-handle allen wrench that comes with each bike; my dealer gave me one.Rubble said:Would it be possible to make up a couple of straps with loops on each end - just pieces of flat nylon strapping with loops sewn on them - and install them under the rear portion of the seat? I don't even know how the passenger portion of the attaches to the scooter so it may not work. Dave
gruntled, you might want to apply some clear paint protection film available from 3M and others rather than finding bags with a pad on the back. Even with a pad, dirt and road grime can get between the bags and the tupperware and cause scratching. The stuff is available through most window tint shops etc.gruntled said:They scratched the paint very bad
very quickly. To try again I would need bags that have a
pad on the back to protect the paint.
If it wasn't TOO long ago, hit CTRL+H while in Internet Explorer and it should being up a history of the sites you went to. Select the day you went to the site and go through the history on that day one by one. If it was within the past several days, betcha find it!Rubble said:I did manage to find the backrest on a Japanese Yamaha site but closed the tab by mistake and lost it. :?. And too many glasses of red wine to find it again

Now you know why paint is #3 on my list!gruntled said:I also removed the seat & put the straps that came with an old set of saddle bags across. Getting the seat back on was not easy as it fits VERY tight. I then snapped the saddlebags to the straps. Bad idea. They scratched the paint very bad very quickly. To try again I would need bags that have a pad on the back to protect the paint. You would also have to be sure the straps would fit under the seat.

Sorry Dave, I wasn't aware that you were that much of a non-conformist! :lol: :lol: :lol: Just trying to help, of course!Rubble said:Ah, the assumption reply.Blexcroid said:If it wasn't TOO long ago, hit CTRL+H while in Internet Explorer and it should being up a history of the sites you went to.I don't use Windows or Explorer. (I'm not Microsoft bashing, I just prefer some of the alternatives) My history only goes back one day, so it is long gone.

Pics?Underneath, there ARE two threaded holes on each side. I've mounted d-ring straps that fold underneath when not in use.
