    So, I'm looking for some passenger grips for my 750, if anyone knows a cheap site or place to pick some up. From what i've seen on ebay, its almost $40-$60 for a set... which I feel is INSANE. not worth that much to me. ALSO, whats a good saddlebag-case for long trips? Should I get a single box on the back or the duel boxes, and I have no idea about brands. Havn't researched into this too much, just tryin to plan for the future. Newbie rider here :cower: go easy on me.

    Handgrips are well worth the $ if you plan on carrying anything. Luggage, ladies, groceries etc. they offer security and great tie down points for cargo bungees.
    As for side cases, I prefer soft sided bags and a waterproof top bag over the seat. If you plan on a passenger you should have some kind of rack to travel. Saddle bags, rack and bag and a tank bag is plenty for weekends. I have some simple Nelson Rigg brand bags. Many trips and they've held up
    Well.

    Hey Waterdude

    There is a set for sale in the classified section of this site that will work on your bike. Check out the link below. Considering what the cost of the grab bars is from even an OEM supplier, the $50 the owner is asking is more than fair IMHO. If you were to purchase them new from Honda I think they are about $150 each. OEM aftermarket suppliers you might get them for about half that per handle.

    They do come in handy for passengers to hang on to and as a side bonus, I find they can make it immensely easier to get the bike up on the center stand. Just push on the center stand leg and lift up on the grab handle. VOILA, no more straining the lower back by lifting up on the handle under the fairing.

    Just my 2 cents..

    I ebayed a set all the way from 0z at the time because there were NONE available near the conus.

    Well worth it.

    Thank you so much! I didn't even realize there was a classifieds section on here. Hopefully he still has some in stock, cause I really, REALLY, want some.

    I had 2 sets for my 94 750 when I sold it to a buddy of mine. If you're still looking for these, PM me and I'll ask him if he's interested in letting one set go for maybe $10-20 + shipping.
