Under-seat grab bar on 750 Seca?

TA-DAAAAHHHH

 

Re: Under-seat grab bar on Seca?

You da man! Those are off of the 650, correct? The 750 left side bar has mounting holes on EACH end, so it would take some fabricating to make these work... would you mind taking some measurements? Overall length, and height(width) of the U. In the photo of the one standing, the space between the bench and the bar.

And if they are for sale, price shipped to 63125. Thanks!
(How do you load photos to show in the thread?)

Thanks... that may very well be my solution!

 

Re: Under-seat grab bar on Seca?

I'll try to remember to take some measurements tonight when I'm home. They are off of a 650. The flat part fits on the shock mount and the other end is threaded to accept a screw through a mount on the frame. I'll try to get a pic of it mounted also. One of them (I forget if it was the left or right) had that screw break off and I half-heartedly tried to remove it but was unsuccessful.

If you're interested in having them for your very own, we'll figure something out. :wink: J

MaximumX;

No hurry on the measurements, I'll have to measure my mounting points as well. On the 750 the bars mount to the frame under the seat; the length between the mounting holes in my frame vs. the length of the 650 bars will be the key. If I think I can make them work I am interested.

Might be easier for you to just buy a left hand side 750 grab bar and bend it using heat to fit the right side. If you take off the left grab bar, flip it over, and line it up on the right side then you'll see that it's a pretty close fit as is. At least it's the right length and size so it'll save you a lot of trouble fabbing one up from scratch, or modding one from a different bike.

 

Re: Under-seat grab bar on Seca?

Originally that's what I thought I may have to do... my big question was whether a 750 Seca right bar even existed. Since that has been answered, now I get to consider the options. Thanks for the suggestion - I do like the idea of having the mounting holes, BFH (big f--in' hammer) notwithstanding!

Here ya go...

 

Re: Under-seat grab bar on Seca?

You ARE the man! Perfect. I'll do some measuring over the weekend and see what I want to do. I may indeed want them for my very own. THANKS!

RESCUE76; Do you still have the LEFT side bar you removed to add your backrest?

 

Ok. I FINALLY got to the garage and measured. Stock LEFT side Seca 750 bar is just over 8". About 8.25"

MaxX: Thanks for the photos, it is greatly appreciated, and now I know my options. I think with the mods I'd have to do to the 650 bars, it would be easier to start with a 750 bar.

WTB: Seca 750 under seat grab bar. Anyone?

 

I got a spare one, SOMEWHERE :lol:
Let me see if i can dig it up, actually i should have TWO of them.

 

Great, thanks for checking.
