If you want I could pop down the local metal works place and see how much it would cost for them to fabricate a rail using mine as a template, got a powder coating place around the corner to so could even get it coated for you

That would be certainly top banana DD
As long as it works out cheaper than all the ones I've seen for them, it would be most helpful

dunno what the feck I was looking at then, but I am allowed a blonde pregnant moment
Either way, they ain't cheap, I can get almost three renntecs for that off ebay for the SVs!
Yes, I'm Northern, and yes I'm a stingy git
Thanks Snapdragon

I'll hopefully have time next week to get down a fabricators place, i'm thinking it cant be that expensive to make after all it's just a 22mm steel tube that's been bent and a couple of bits welded on. Hell I could probably make one out of copper (my pipe benders only do copper
) but I doubt it would be very strong

Hiya all,
I have this
tucked away in the back of the garage, I always seem to have the Ventura fitted to mine, so would be prepared to let this go for £45 collected from Derby, or I can parcel it up and get a price for the postage.

Well can't let that offer go to waste! So meeeee please
Funny, I'm supposed to have someone collect my Vrap from Derby at some point this week, from the dealers. Could attempt an arrangement to pick this up too?.

Is the foot included in the sale?

Got the bike back, so went to attach rail as soon as Pete got home, took the four bolts off, undertray fell onto the hugger with the weight of all the fuses and wiring, although still attached somewhere near the battery end
The back ends been tidied somewhat! Only to find the original four bolts are too short for the rail too....bolted back together until this aft when I pop down to the fastener place.
That'll teach me to be eager.
Dunno where the other half has been but there was a pair of Viper sports with plenty of life for my riding, hes only ridden it 200 miles and hes killed the rear off! Good job I wanted a pair of Avon Storms on it anyway.

Hi dirtydog, I would also be interested in a "pattern" grab rail if you get the opportunity to have the fabricators look at yours. Please PM me if anything comes of it!

Hello,
i just revived my ride again, got the blinkers working, new seat and replacement speedo. now im looking for next upgrade and im eyeballing some rear case mounts/ grab rail etc. i remember one of the members here mentioning one of the SVs racks. or the classic ventura and hepco items. is any of that still accesible somewhere, anyone got any spares to sell?
cheers
HydE
