Rear passenger Grab Rails On Trike
I bought an 10 model street glide trike. My question is can a set of rear passenger grab rails be installed on the trike. Looks as if a set from a harley touring bike would fit? Also the passenger swing out armrest that kuryakyn makes states that they will not fit the tri glide. Wonder if a bracket of some type could be made and then have the bracket chromed or powder coated. Just wondering guys my wife says she would like a little more secure feeling while riding. Guess Ill have to use a bungee cord and tie her a-- down.

Yes the grab rails should be able to be installed, I can't help with the arm rest I've never looked at them. I think the grab rails should go a long way to giving your wife a more secure feeling. My wife grabs onto them when we are going around sharp corners and making quick stops.

Thay's funny!
Anyway, somewhere else, someone took measurements between the tourpak of the TG Ultra and body and determined that there was about 2" lacking in order to install those armrests. (The bracket would probably hit the tourpak) But since you have no tourpak (?) that shouldn't be an issue. Wish I could remember where I read that but I'd probably get in trouble if I gave you a link.

I'm assuming you have a tourpak installed??
