Title: 550 k3 grab rail
Post by: 3scs on July 27, 2019, 10:57:29 AM
Was just wondering would anyone know where I could get a rear grab rail for my 550 k3 mine has the f seat and rail fitted I’ve just acquired a k3 seat but it won’t fit because of the rail not as straight forward as I thought just removed grab rail to try seat and I think the rear light bracket is wrong also I think you were right trigg it should have the indicators mounted to rear light bracket so will looking for light mount also, it says it’s the same as 750k7

Hi Simon, that seat looks familiar! The k3 grabrail is very hard to find as it is only fitted to the k3, and the US type is different. here is a pic of the k3 that i had which has the correct rear light bracket, never did get the correct grab rail.

To change that rail, you will also need a different rear mudguard as well, as a tail light bracket.

i think the way to go would be to get correct tail light assy first then try to find a rail if and when

You will also need a k3 rear mudguard as it has a 3hole fixing for the light bracket. I cant remember what the grab rail came from but I had to modify it.

I’ve actually put the black plastic mudguard of yours on and drilled some holes a bit further down for now so I’m looking for a k3 grab rail and rear mudguard now !!
