Default Re: Pillion grab rail - legal requirement?

am i right in thinking if you remove the grab rail, you cant attach the passenger seat anyway because it slots under the grabrail bracket?

I've had my SV bike go through MOTs on several occasions with the grab rail off and double seat on.

Default Pillion grab rail - legal requirement?

If there is a seat there you need pegs. Grab rail is not necessary AFAIK.

Then it depends on how you define a pillion seat. If its two seperate seats like a sports bike then yes i can see them saying that, but if its a dual seat like my cb500 then i would say it wouldnt be a problem imo
