Title: found a chrome grab rail.. $$?
Post by: kawasaki.addict on November 06, 2014, 10:06:28 AM
Is this a fair price for a drifter grab rail?  I have had a hard time finding one till this popped up but even so i do not really need it an i am kind of a tight wad with my wallet. If you don't mind me asking is this more than other forum members have paid for theirs an do you all know of anyone who could get me one cheaper than this thanks in advance Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=271657801315&alt=web

That's what I paid for mine, new in box. As they are very hard to find, price is dependent on how bad you want it...

You might want to grab this as I paid a little over double that price last year being they are so rare . I'll have to guess that price will double before the end of this auction .

Is that your bid, KA? If so I will stay out of it. So far, only the one bid.....if it's not your bid, I'm in.

You know what guy's and I may be wrong here , but I do believe this rail is for a sprung seat not the stock solo ? If I recall correctly , mine is slightly different then this one .

I do not have a 1500 stock solo, so cannot say.

Looks like an original Kawasaki F&S solo seat rail to me.

That rail is for the stock solo seat.

Getting a little higher towards the end of the auction.


Now, 49, If I end up making one ....  If I could get you to do some of your metal-working-wonders - and bend me up some letters, Indian Script style- that say "Drifter" --- (to substitute where the "V" is on this rail)---  I'd be all set ;D   Send me the letters (I'm thinking 2.5" tall, 3/16 round stock).....   I'll try my hand at the rest of it!

Now if we could only find a seat rail for an 800......any ideas.  This is the only photo I have of an 800 with a seat rail, but don't know who made it:

Yea I'm very curios to know as well Pilgrim . It's A LOT cheaper then what I paid for mine . that's for sure  :( .... Hope it's a forum member because that's the only reason I didn't bid on it .
