Have them on my bike, work great as a tie down spot as well. Not really meant as passenger grab rails, were originally part of a kit (left side only) with the aftermarket centerstand. I added the right side just so it would look balanced....and for tie down. They would be a bit uncomfortable for a passenger, your legs would be rubbing on them.

What is it like to get the Behemoth on a center stand?

I can do it OK. The bike is lowered so I have to run the rear up on a 3/4" piece of wood first. Then grab the left rail with your right hand and the handlebar with your left. Put the center of your foot on the C/S arm and press down until it makes contact with the floor, then tip the bike upright so you feel the feet of it making contact with the floor. Lift on the rail while pusing down on the arm and rock it back and up, kinda have to put your ass into it if your weight is under 225. I can do it fairly easy, but you never want to try it by pressing down on the arm with the toe of your shoe. You'll tear up a calf muscle and unable to walk without a cane for a few days.  (don't ask)

If you look closely at my posting pic you can see the arm sitcking up just in front of the left saddlebag. To get the bike off the stand, just sit on it and rock it forward. Just remember to have raised the bike far enough back from whatever is in front.....like a tool chest. (again....don't ask)

I enjoy my world....most of the time.  Grin
