Cheap half-way house solution - take the grab rail off.

Noooooo don't just take the rail off. Get the seat cowl.
I managed to get one for £40 brand new off ebay instead of the £90-odd dealer price.

They don't actually do anything... spend your money on petrol!

And don't take the grabrail off. They make it harder to turn around on the sidestand.

I think I'll just buy the seat cowl and fit it, just as the bike looks ATM.
It's like £136ish on the Suzuki website :/
