If your talking about the passenger side grab rails, they mount to the fender. Two bolts. I throw mine on when the woman rides till I get a backrest..

Yep, mounts to the fender. It was standard equip on my '05, but not the '08. Never noticed until my SO got on the bike!

Yes that grab rail was a great feature, sux they turned it into an "accessory item"... Figures.

And yes, it bolts to the fender.

Ironically Arizona, my wife made me take it off because it kept getting in her way! Admittingly the bike looks alot better with the rails off though.....at least IMHO.
