grab rails

Hi All
Why can't I find a grab rail that would attach to the same mounting point as the luggage rack on my bandit 1200s....
I would love some grab rails similar to what is on the spyder - see photos attached :-S My wife would like something more solid to hold onto....

I made my own for the last bandit from a piece of 3/8 '' bright rod bent to shape with a couple of tags welded to it & then bought some round tube rubber ( Clark rubber ) to fit over it & covered it with vinyl . It fitted from the front occy strap screw to the rack mounting screw of the grab rail . ( photo taken when I first got the bike & removed the stickers etc )

Maybe a velcro pad on the seat and also on the butt of her jeans - certainly wouldn't slide around
Could finish up a permanent fixture

I know a 250 Honda coming up for sale .Hang on you rode with it yesterday .OR
A length of 40mm -+ Alloy with two bolts though with spacers screwed into grab handle holes .Kind of like 2 hand brakes ,one either side .
Cost i would think under $10

lol, she won't ride unless she can have an auto
That could work. I would have to pain them black but it would be within my handyman skill level.....

Maybe... Expensive and maybe a little heavy for her, but I'm going to check one out when I'm at Springwood Suzuki next time
