New passenger handles and seat.

[Strada_Stu]

Hey people can someone please explain to me how you go about getting the new shape passenger handles. I've got a UK 2007 model with the old shape handles but would really like the new ones, and Are they free?
Same goes for the new shape seat too.

cheers
Stu

Ask for them!
If your dealer cause trouble let them know that all over the world people are getting them under warranty for free.

As you know and have seen Stu my seat came today free, I paid for my handles last month Doh! A few weeks after they announced they were free! Bugger

Oh well I'll know better next time.

I wasn't sure if it was just a case of asking for them. I'll be on the phone asap.
thanks

Say Strada, I'd love to buy your euro style grabrails if you trade them out for the newer version, I'd trade my newer type grabrail but figure I better keep them.

Lemme know if you want to sell! Please oh please?
Thanks
Chris

Chris ask your dealer, they will be availabe I'm sure.

If not they will no doubt have some lying around when they start changing them over.

HI Dan,
Thanks but all the US bikes have the newer pattern grabrail, we never had the other one. Interestingly the US brochure shows the earlier grabrail on the bike.

Eventually got my handles today but scratched by head over fitting them if anyone can help shed some light.

The four main bolts that hold the new handles on. Am I right in thinking the metal flanged washers that were required with the previous set aren't needed with the new ones? If they are, I can't see how they'd fit.

Anyone who's fitted their own (Dan?) or has the new style, any pointers?

Thanks guys,
Jonny

Thanks cheeky. That helps clear my confusion, I didn't get the fittings with my new handles! Back to the dealer again!
