This guy has these listed on ebay as engine guards, but I have these as grab handles on my 650:S
I emailed to him to let him know that they are grab handles...you can see his response at the bottom of the listing..They just don't look like they would hold up to much on a lay down...:blink:
ok, how do I get the url to work?:pinch:

he said that they took them off the engine, so if the passenger can grab them he is a magician.

Grab a little magic!

Yep the old 76 KZ650 that didn't exist engine guards, with a little rust that will "sand right out". Why do these guys not sand it right out to make a better sale if it's all that easy? Of course they are in fact grab rails. At least he's not the $100 starting bid type of guy.

I aqree Ron, why not make the part look as nice as possible for sale! Don't we all detail a car or bike before putting it up for sale? And yes, a little sanding and some silver paint and those engine guards will look as good as new!!:woohoo:
