I just installed my centerstand and quickly found out the OEM grab rails are useless. I ride solo but still, for putting the bike on the center stand or using the rails for tying down luggage, they stink. I don’t like the look or the price of Traxxion Dynamics rails especially on a non tour model. Anybody have suggestions for replacement rails for a 2022 Non Tour DCT?

I‘d suggest to go with the original grab rails from the Tour model, they are not as wide as the TD ones, but still wider than the nonTour, so you could attach straps to it.

So that's why the non-Tour doesn't come with a center stand. Who would have thought ???????? Bizarre.

Grab rails… the keyword here is “grab”. If you can’t grab them then they fail in that function… I know, bizarre!

Their called grips, not grab rails.

Ok then on that note there’s no gripping them.. better?

That's the reason Honda changed them on the newer tour models. People complained. The tour grips may work on yours. They do stick out further.

Rear passenger grips, but we understand.

Maybe rear passenger gripes?

May want to see about just buying the Left passenger grip - rail- handle thingy from Honda for the newest Gen6,
from Honda. At least that will allow using the center stand.
Just an idea.

That’s a thought Dave thank you. I think I’d want symmetry now that you mention this but never say never!

I replaced my grab rails on my '18 with Honda '20 or '21 rails. A world of difference when putting on the center stand and now have something to tie stuff to. Also they were about $215 I think, but still cheaper than TD. Just my two cents.

I ordered some from Wingstuff. I don’t know if they are the same as what you have but they appear to be better than the OEM on my 2022. They were $250 ish if I remember correctly

Yes, those are the same ones I got. I think they're OEM.

i have a 2018 non tour dct, added a center stand, and found the grip sufficient for my feeble hand and arm if i found a slight dip in the driveway so there wasn't quite as far to lift the bike -- the front wheel still contacts the ground but you can pull the bottom of the wheel to get the air nipple where you can get to it

I received them today and installed them... waaaaaay better than the original grab rails!
