Source for grab handles?

Remembered reading SOMEWHERE a while back about a guy (in England, I think) who had someone make a bunch of passenger grab bars for him...(In chrome, stainless, or Black painted) Would really like to get a set on my baby...any ideas? checked fleabay...one old pair, rusty, for 70 bux...Sheesh! Domestic would probably be preferable (if possible) ..These things are hard to find, apparently! Do other models (400/440/750/900/100) use the same size grab bars? Any members here have a decent set to relinquish? Thanx, all!

I'm also looking for a set. Saw those $70 ones on Ebay too. Too nasty for my tastes.

Yup!!! Those are they! I KNEW I had read that....Shows as "sold" Any on THIS side of the pond? Not much to them...If I could use wood, I could probably make nice set, but metal fabbing is unfortunately, outta my league! I'll keep an eye out..Would the (currently outta stock) z1e version fit my 650?

I sent the Ebay guy a message asking if anymore will be made.

On the later auctions, it did show international shipping and the price went up for a pair of them.
