    Pulled off the rear passenger grab handles for a Wreckless 80. Grabbed some spacers from Lowe's for $1.50 each. Work great. I may spray paint them someday.

    I pressed the spacers out of the handles and used them.

    I love this idea since the stock grab handles are so damn huge... but I just find them too handy for wheeling the bike around or putting on center stand. Would love some replacement handles that stayed much closer to the pillion seat

    My buddy just put soft handles on his 1290SAR, strung from the frame under the passenger seat down to the bottom of the subframe.

    Hello! Not yet. I' e got the proper drill and 2 taps(one of them a bottoming tap) also an assortment of different length studs. But with all i' e got going now is not the time to tackle such a serious operation that I have one shot to glory to fix. I'll post up once I do though. Have some more ideas on the bike too and will make it so at that time. Cheers old friend!!

    What TT rack? Do you run a TT top box? I didn’t think the Perun top plate was compatible with TT? That’s been my biggest hang up, I like my top box and replacing it is too much money when what I have works so well

    TT side racks for panniers, the Perun takes my Givi top box, or a luggage roll

    Hay. Here you go.

    I made this it s setup in the spring of 2018. If I recall correctly, I made the brackets/mounts the way I did so I maintained the same width as the top box. I also wanted the mini panniers to run parallel with each other and the centreline off the bike so you can see my ‘overly complicated’ mounting bracket is taller on the back mount vs the front. 19mm difference if I remember....or maybe 13mm. Not sure. [emoji965][emoji100]

    Giant Loop strap instead of the handrails.
