Anyone have the parts fish for these to check the part number??
The new 2012 has black grab rails, I'm thinking maybe just get the 2012 ones (which "should" be the same as the 10/11's) rather than paint my 09 ones, that way I don't have to worry about the paint finish etc...
Are the 2012 parts fish available yet?? If so, can somebody share the 2012 part number for these??
Thanks!

Not to sound smart, but have you considered powder-coating them? Probably can get them done pretty reasonably. I had some snowmobile front suspension stuff done a few years ago (Front A-Arms and Spindles) and I don't think I had $50 into 6 decent sized components.
Can't, they're plastic...
I just ordered the black 2012 rails, they're available and "my" cost was about what my painter wanted to redo mine...
how? where from? how much? ME WANTS IT.
I can't imagine somebody has already bought and wrecked a 2012 and is having to order replacement parts??
I just hope they fit...
please do let us know how it turns out...

Your painter wants $160-200 to paint the 2 hand rails??
That'll buy a heck of a lot of rattle cans!!
I'm not looking to "rattle can" anything on this bike at this point, I'm sure I'd make it look bad somehow...
Maybe I should just wrap the grab rails in black duct tape...
Ok, my 2012 black grab rails arrived today!
Question though, I pulled the rear seat (my Smuggler actually) off and it looks like I can't get to all the mounting bolts that hold the rails in??
Do I really need to remove the whole freakin tail to swap these out??
Please help a brutha out here...

The Givi mount 'arms' are going to the steel sub frame not the plastic. (Brian I know ZedHed put you up to this, now cut that out. )
Proress, on a roll now, half way point...
