rear grab rail removal

Hello, I'm wanting to remove my rear grab rail and i have hte filler plates to make it look good, however i dont have the bracket to keep my rear seat mounted. I'm not sure what its called or where to find it, any help is appreaciated. Thank You

Make a template from the one connected to the grabhandle.


Its dead easy to drill and bend a piece of metal to work.

does anyone make one tho or does it have a name?

Haven't got a clue about a name, the fillers usually come attached to one.

You could always buy a second hand grab rail and cut the actual grab handle part off?

When I received my Suzuki seat cowl recently it came with fitting instructions that referred to this part as a 'Plate'; very helpful

The only part number I can find is 45500-16860 but that's for the whole seat cowl kit.

You could ask your local stealership to source one for you but as suggested it's probably fairly easy to fashion one yourself, just make sure it's fairly solid if you are intending to carry any sort of load on your rear seat.

i don't see why you would keep the seat and loose the grab rail.

in my view: buy a seat cowl and replace the whole thing or leave the normal setting.

I have a seat cowl fitted and i am considering putting just the grab rail back on,so i have the cowl+grab rail; it gives the bike tail a bit of character.

just a thought before you pay too much for a bit of metal

I have the seat cowl fitted with the grab rail. I won't remove the grab rail as I need it to position the bike onto the paddock stand.

There's one on Ebay at the moment, in blue. Just type in "SV seat cowl", should bring it up.

Ive got the cowl but when i bought the bike it didnt come with the extra part. i suppose that im going to have to make it
