Default REAR GRAB BAR DEBATE ANSWERED ON 09'S

I guess the debate about cutting rear grab bar is answered or maybe the new frame is stronger in rear either way the cleaned up rear end looks great.

I would just like to know if it is going to be possible to somehow adapt the tourpak rack from the 09 to the 08 so you can get rid of that cheezy license plate mount that supports the pak

This works great, get rid of the grab rail and rear end hardware, mounts to front docking kit with no mods

The ultra's have the lower bar removed as well. It does clean it up some. The license plate is mounted to the tour pak bracket. So I don't know what the plans are for a removable tour pak. Maybe a low mounted license plate.

This may explain the surge in sales of Grab Bar eliminator kits this past week. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp\\;ih=009&amp\\;sspagena me=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&amp\\;viewitem=&amp\\;item=190 238414102&amp\\;rd=1
