Passenger grab rails
Anybody used either of these two products?
NWS: http://www.n-w-s.com/kawasaki/zx12ra1_a2.html
RENNTEC: http://www.renntec.co.uk/products/grab.htm
I'm looking for a decent grab rail or passenger backrest for my 00 12 and can't seem to find any. I don't like the Ventura system. The NWS system looks cool though (compared to the others). I'm tempted to buy it. Any info. on whether they have a US dealer?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanx.

Well first, let us examine WHO you are putting on the bike.
WHERE AS
Personally, I like females on the back of my bike (I am male). And, usually, said females are generally attractive so I like any excuse to get said attractive female to put her arms around ME.
So why the hell do I want her arms behind her?
WHERE AS
I tell them to hold on to me for the acceleration, then put their hands flat on the tank for braking - and hold on with their feet either way - but stay off of me for the braking.
I tend to ride kinda fast.
WHERE AS....
It is really unnatural for anyone to put their hands behind them to hold on when you are going FORWARD.
Perhaps you could explain a bit more about what you are trying to accomplish here with proposed equipment........
NOW
If you give your brother a ride rather often I guess I could see it.
NOW
If you give your friend a ride often you might need to check your sexuality (I'm assuming here that you like girls)....

I've had a NWS unit like that for a couple weeks, appears to be a quality piece. Should be installing it this afternoon. Some of the ZRX guys got a group order together and ordered a bunch of huggers together to save on shipping and I got in on it. Got huggers for mine and Dad's 12's as well.
I'll dig up the prices and keep you posted.

I have the NWS - have used it about a year - works great - wife loves it. It bolts on with 4 bolts - takes about 2 min to install/uninstall. You cant use it with the seat cover though...
Tony
PS: I may be selling mine if I decide to sell the 12(may put it back stock).

NWS grab rail installed. Was gonna take some pics but it was so simple it would've been a waste. Nice piece.
Hey FV, Mantis is selling off his accessories in the classifieds. Maybe he still has the NWS?
