If your taking about the original Kaw. 1500 solo seat rail those are rare and hard to find (those can easily be adapted to fit the 800 by securing solo seat rail to 800 seat brackets with bolt, nut, and local washer).  On eBay someone made and selling a different version for the 800 and 1500 seat rail.  I don't anything about the EBau ones or the seller.  Its a newer item someone starting selling.  Maybe someone here bought one and can post review.  They look sharp and very similar to originals.  I have a original and its like the diamond of a ring for just cool looks.

Trall, that seller has been an ebay member since 6/25/2016, no sales and has no, zero (0) feedback. Also, they are located overseas in Belarus, so if there's a fitment problem returns that are to be paid by customer could be quite costly. Something to consider, I'm just say'n.

Trall, that grabrail is quite particular: as far as I can see by the pics, it stands fairly parallel to the ground, rather then being as vertical as almost all the rest...

Not really hard: I made a metal structure that goes under the seat, just to be able to attach the grabrail.
BTW, I've got a spring seat, not the oem saddle...
If you're interested, I'll post some pics of the whole thing.

If you can send me the pics and a write up on what you did, I'll add it to our mods section... LINKS in the upper nav bar.

If you mean "grabrail", keep in mind that is quite rare to find...
That is the reason why I bought a used one: it was an old H-D grabrail, that I've then adapted to my bike's seat.
