What kind of grab bar are you wanting to build?  The only measurements that are needed are the mounting points on the frame and what size bolt holes are needed.

Jes exactly that .... I mean! thank you!
 I can not measure itself.
 because my bike stands at TÜV .
 now I need only the length of the fender.
 because I have to bend a bit high ... so that the can hold my Gf on it ...
 usually to the hold on to me!!!
But the TÜV think if we even understand ourselves not as good ... then they can hold on to at least grabbar  ;-)

Like this...

Are you trying to make a sissy bar (back rest?)

He's wanting to know how far out on the rear grab bar do the plastic cover when installed so he can bend the exposed portion of the grab bar up to create a back rest looking place for his passenger to hold onto.

Frank I'm assuming you have a stock rear grab bar correct? Or are you fabbing one up from scratch (nothing)?

Ok so you need to know how far from the mounting points is it to the edge of the rear plastic behind the seat so you can bend the bar up at that point?

Thank you! now I have the exact measurements for me to build the part, as soon as the TÜV approved it I'll do pictures or rotating a clip, of course with Gf, I just hope it's not too offensive for the U.S. ... thanks again if I could I would send you 100 liters of beer. Frank
