I watch eBay a lot to see how much things I own are going for and there is a bike that has been listed a couple times (reserve never met) but he's done a mod that I've never seen. He's replaced his grabrail with something that looks badass. I have messaged him twice asking about it and he's never responded. Maybe you guys know what it is or what it might be called to google for it. I've tried everything I could think of. Here are the pics:

I've seen that bike before on the UK site. That part may be something made over seas.

I do know Rizoma makes a plug. It doesn't look as good, but it's an option.

The other way to go is to buy some nice wire mesh and glue it to the underside of the rear plastics. I've done something like that to my fake air scoops on my 500. I just used gutter mesh.


Edit: here is the web site. http://www.rizoma.com/english/en_honda_hornet.html

Expensive but quality.

Thanks to mechanic77 I found out who makes the rack but I still can't find anyone that imports it :(

Anyways, now for my next question, what exhaust is that??

Holy crap! I just got a quote on that DPM rack and it's $175 USD + S&H!! Wow, italian is expensive. I can't imagine how much the exhaust costs.
