748 Pillion Grab Rail

Discussion in '748 / 916 / 996 / 998' started by Roadtrip, Oct 9, 2016.

  1. Took Mrs Roadtrip to the Ducati Essex meet today on the 748,
    Ive seen some Goggle photos of grab rails for them but not who makes them as i assume Ducati never made them and will be aftermarket, anyone point me in the right direction who makes them.
     
  2. Only ones I recall are the standard strap on the biposto seat pad, but there is one shaped like a mini handlebar that bolts to the top of the fuel filler bolt ring, any good?
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  3. Have look at Ventura sports rack, got one on my 748 and its a good solid grabrail, quick and easy to fit also gives easy add on for the best luggage system on the market.

  4. Another vote for ventura grab rail. Comes as a 4 piece unit. The first bit is a fiddly/ time consuming to fit to the sub frame. Two further rails attach each side on the pillion footrest bolts. A handle then joins the 2 rails and can be removed to lift the seat. The 2 rails and handle can be removed or replaced relatively quickly, 15 mins, to retain the monoposto look when desired. It's dear but we'll made.

  5. Thanks just looked on there site a rack with grab handle seems to be around £125 :Wideyed: not cheap, not fussed about the luggage rack add ons, are they the only makers about?
     
  6. I think ventura is the only game in town for 748 grab rails.
     
  7. Thanks,
    I will check eBay and put a post up in the wanted section :upyeah:
     
  8. I've got a Ventura with the grab rail setup ... as new was only on the 748 a few weeks ... message me if interested
