Rear passenger grab handles

[tommyv333]

I have a Indian Roadmaster/Roadsmith trike. Great trike! Unfortunately Indian and Roadsmith do not offer rear passenger handles.

To remedy this I purchased 4 Black cut Motorcycle Rear Seat Bolt Tab Screw Mount Knob Cover Nut For Harley US on Ebay

I cut the original seat strap in half, measured, measured and measured again. Drilled holes in the fiberglass body and mounted my creation. I used a 8mm bolt with a stainless steel lock nut, fender washer and a rubber washer underneath.

My wife LOVES it!

Prior to drilling, use painters tape on the body so when you drill it will be a bur-less hole.

I had my wife put on her leather coat n boots and sit on the trike. Had her with a open fist to let her arms hang in a natural relaxed position. Took the strap and simulated the the handle height so she could grab each with ease. At about 2” away from the seat there was plenty of “flat” surface underneath to accommodate a large fender washer.
