No pictures to show unfortunately, but i just fitted the grab rail kit for the storm. Where before the rail was only connected by bolts to the frame, this kit takes a few extra bolts and the existing fittings/holes (no mods needed) and it is now solid as a rock. You can easily manouvre the bike using the grab rail alone as its very sturdy. Quite impressed!
Only problem is i cant have the seat cowl on at the same time.

Re: Grab rail kit.
Depending on how you choose to secure it it could be 2!!! 4 is much more secure though. The two centre ones are a sod to put/take off though.

Re: Grab rail kit.
iirc you should be able to still use seat cowl, that's assuming it's a firestorm and the racks made by rentec..
I agree that it makes moving the bike around so much easier....
I had one, but ultimately I didn't like the look, so it had to go. but they're very handy to have.

Re: Grab rail kit.
I've had the seat cowl on with it before, but it's difficult when taking seat on and off.
not a fan of the look either but it's really useful for pillions, luggage, and go pros
