Hey, I'm on the point of closing out the purchase of a 5th Gen 2001 VFR800 and wondered how much I would expect to pay for the rear pillion grab rails as they are missing on the bike in question and I don't want to buy it and find out that these parts are like hen's teeth. I have tried the usual suspects like google, ebay etc but can't find any for sale, maybe I'm not describing the parts correctly but in plain English they're the things that a pillion grabs on to just behind their bum. Hope someone can help me with this although to be fair it's not going to stop me buying the bike! Cheers, Cookie.:thumbsup:
Me want cookie.....UM UM UM......cookies good...UM UM....sorry, flashback to my sesame street days...I MISS BIG BIRD DAMN IT! Hello and welcome boss. I usually search for them under...."vfr passenger handles," or "vfr grab handles" or even "vfr passenger rails." I just tried, and two different people are selling one....a right, and the other a left. Some clown is even too lazy to clean the paint off of his before he lists it. What a stroker joker. I got lucky and found some off of ebay when I got my bike. Honda lists them for $80 (US dollar) from them directly.......OWIE. :spankme:
Thanks, they don't look too expensive and the guy has found the seat cowl which was not originally in the price I was talking about, so overall I think I've come out on top. Gonna phone him now and put some money down, can't wait.....I commute to work on my bike and I'm trading up from a CB500. I'm looking forward to people's reactions when I turn up at work with the most stoopid grin on my face when I get my hands on the VFR!!!! Thanks again, Cookie.
I've bid for them on eBay several times, and they went for $85.00 or more for the pair. I was about ready to buy new ones. I finally got a pair from someone on this (or the other?) VFR forum for a reasonable price (I think $80.00, but my memory is a sieve).
