The grab bars for the 09 say they only fit the 09, so that opens another question
Does being that close to the speaker present any problems?

Is the passenger able to use them without any difficulty?

The 1/4 inch clearance seems to be OK, They are very useful moving the bike, and they make a great place to tie down if you use the back seat to carry a pack. My wife said she has not used them as a hand hold yet, but other threads have said they use them to help change sitting positions. I have seen them show up for sale on Ebay, but I would explore the -09 part to see if they may fit better then the older type.

I never noticed that the '08 didn't have the Oh Sh** grab bars until my wife got on the bike. I got them right away even though the service manager mentioned that he didn't think they fit the '08s, but it does if the tour pak is set to rearmost position.

I took mine off my 08 Classic and put them on my 09 Ultra, fit fine with about 1/4" clearance.
