I have them on my 05 FLHTC. 7 yr old sons uses them, wife doesn't. Maybe if I drag the floorboards, she will grab them. That or dig her nails in to me like was previously stated.

My wife loves the security of the grab rails as well as the longer arm rests on the Mustang backrest. She only uses the rails when we're in the curves.

I got mine used on Ebay.

Hmmm. I bit rough in the tone, pal. Lay off the caffeine.

I rarely ever scrape a floorboard and she is generally ok with that anyhow. For whatever reason, it is the mountains being in the equasion that seem to raise her blood pressure. I guess it is because she is used to living in Texas where we can see all the way around most every corner. In the mountains you don't have that luxury.

I just sold mine in the classified section of HDF. There are usually some posted.

BTW, they fit fine with speakers if the Tour-Pak is in the rear position.

My wife likes to have them there---just in case. If it puts her more at ease it's worth it at any price. I also put black and chrome accents on the rails to dress them up a bit.

When I am solo riding the grab rails come in handy to bungy down my camping gear.
