Renntec CBR600RR 03-04 grab rail will fit 05-06 model

[fullscreenaging]

Long story short....

When I first bought my CBR600RR5 2 months ago I looked at getting a grab rail for the missus, only to discover that I couldn't find one to fit my model. I contacted Renntec to ask why via email.

"We were changing management at the time and that model was overlooked. We will not be making one for that model as we focus on the latest models"

That's fair enough.

"Can I modify the 03-04 rail to fit?"

"No"

Bollocks. Looked around and could only find the Ventura stuff, which

1. Looks shit

2. Is too bloody expensive.

After much head scratching I decide to approach an engineers to see what they can do. After a bit of a discussion they recommend me getting the 03-04 rail after looking at some photos that I showed them and say they should be able to modify it.

Ordered rail.

Rail came today so I unpacked it and had a look myself. I only had to file the hole in the top brackets by 3-4mm and it fits like a glove!!!

Not happy with Renntec, but very happy with the result
