My 00 had a passanger grab rail my BSR used frequetly and I also when moving the bike around. But the 12's don't have it.  Anyone add it to theirs?

In their wisdom the MoCo decided that the grab rails were an unnecessary feature and stop supplying the $10 part... Now they charge $165 for the "accessory".  Remember I said "in their wisdom".

Many have added this accessory to their bikes as the holes are already in the fender ready to accept the new feature!
Some have even added the cushion hand grips to the rails for that comfort feel and sporty look.

I actually installed these on my bike for about an hour. They stick out and are not very attractive. Even putting the extra grips on them. It didn't help. 

Back to the dealer for a credit.
