GS1100E rear grab bars... Only 1?
Hey! Just a quick question. Under the rear plastic there's a grab bar on the left side, but not on the right. I've looked at the schematics and they only show one on the left (#13 below). What is this for and has anyone installed one on the right side as well. I'd like to have a holding point for a bungee-type cargo net.

then why's bolted under the rear seat like a grab bar?
i have a center stand and #13 is not installed anywhere near it. it's under the tail section just in front of 19,20,21.

left hand on left handle bar, left foot on centerstand lever arm, right hand lifting up via grab handle under left edge of seat.
my 80 has one under the left edge of the seat as well as the two for a passenger. (modified from the one wrap around one)

Pretty simple really. I think the hard part might be finding or fabricating the KG back rest bracket that holds the rear mounting bolt.
