I've just got myself a Fazer 8 and it came with the rear carrier, i've searched on the forum and from reading here
http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=6987.0 it looks like i cant simply replace that with the standard rear grab handles as the cut-outis visibly larger.
Basically does this mean i have to replace the whole rear tail cowl to return it to the standard fitment with standard rear grab handles.
you could cut out the rear cowl if you were brave enough, or just replace the top section of the rear cowl, not cheap, FYI, genuine Yamaha pillion grab handles are around 100 quid per side.

No they are not. £79 quid odd for the pair.

Must be a bargain then, from Yamabits, using Yamaha's parts number they are 85 plus VAT each, thats where my price came from, then you need to add the cowl or get the knife out, I saved 10 kilos in weight by ditching the pillion pegs, both sides and both handles, covered holes with carbon fibre panels, plus replaced exhaust hanger with R&G in readiness for Akra pipe, just enjoy the 8 and don't let people diss you about it, mine is currently off the road having a fork rebuild and set up changes
