Does anybody make one?

Would like a chrome one to go across the back...wife gets her fingerprints all over my paint!

 

[Bones1955]

Guess I'll have to make my own!
Maybe I could sell them here..lol.

People have used chrome cabinet door handles purchased at ACE hardware.

If you decide to make one, post a pic. You could be onto something.

Does your bike have the trunk rack? That makes a decent handle to lift from.

I don't have that though the wife wants one to strap stuff on..dang.
I been telling her the thing is top heavy enough!
For sure when she gets on it with her double d's! lol

Not sure what is meant by double d's? How heavy are they and do you have pictures? Perhaps strapping them lower (hand holds on side cases) on the bike will reduce the center of gravity. I definitely would not suggest strapping them to a luggage rack as this will increase center of gravity. Let us know what you decide thanks

I like the topcase rack. It has the extra brake light for more visibility. Makes for a good handle to open the lid. Also good for more luggage space when traveling two-up.

I found a nice one at a harware store and have used it fo 8 years and still looks good. Just look in some independent hardware stores you might find one. Jim

I got the perfect solution for that.
Latex gloves or those soft cotton white things that the musical director wears. :histerica :histerica Absolutely no finger prints.

Lets just say I have a nice headrest....cheers!

This worked well for me, and the curve of the handle matched the trunk's perfectly:

...and something you may not be aware of: ALWAYS push down on the trunk firmly BEFORE latching it and be careful not to overstuff. Many here have broken the rather flimsy latch by not doing this and it is expensive and/or a pita to repair with aftermarket stuff.

Thanks..I like the look!
How cool would a lighted one be..prolly go with the Ace one though!

Yep i read about the latch on here..this place is invaluable!
I should pay up soon!

Good enough then. Maybe if we all had a set of double d's we could use for a head rest we might not worry about final drive failures as much. Cheers!

Better yet, go to ACE hardware buy a cabinet handle for $10 and sell it as an "custom" BMW add on for $350 .:stir: :histerica:histerica:histerica

Gotta run to ACE. See ya later!

Take it to a trophy shop and have it engraved with the BMW K1200 LT logo and you have a winner!

You keep telling her she is top-heavy?

Wind in your face and boobies in your back. Life is grand!
