I’m looking for the ones that BOLT ON to the fuel cap(anodized blue).Can’t find the mag I saw them in-and NOBODY seems to know what or where they are:( .They’re small and shaped kindof like a maybe 1″ high tube,then bent horizontally about 4-5″ long,then bend back down about 3/4″ or so. Apparently they’re adjustable fore and aft,and would make an excellent “resting” bar for the pilot’s hand(that’s what they’re designed for,not a passenger).ANYONE know where these are?(E-mail me at bluebird14@bresnan.net)Thanks all-as for the ones in this section here-they look cool:) .

This looks great and has function! Fighting to counterbalance the weight and lean of the inexperienced or frightened pillion is dangerous and down right scary. Saying this though the idea of more people riding like nutcases while carrying pillions is not going to be much fun for trauma centres when they start getting two for the price of one admissions

These look like a great idea. My girlfriend is not to keen on being pillion, but when we do I where a belt that has grab handles as she doesn’t feel safe holding the grab handles at the back of teh bike. It works OK, but under breaking the passanger slids forward pushing me into the tank and reducing my room to manouver the bike. This would appear to stop that happening. Any idea on cost?

I kind of like the girl holding on to me, crap if she is grabbing the tank why bring her along.

Damn, another really good idea I didn’t get to market in time.

So it goes.
