Tank mounted passenger grab rails...

I've done a quick search, came up with the PSR unit...I remember seeing a few different brands...but alas my google-fu is weak today...

What else is out there?? Who's used what?? It's for my 1198....

My pillion wants to corner harder and ride a bit more spirited, I'm thinking this type of grab rail will do wonders for the twisties

"From TankGrip:

Tankgrip is an entirely handmade shell with integrated handles that can be fitted simply and quickly to a motorcycle 's petrol tank. The shell can be made from polyester or carbon fibre, depending on the customer's preference. Tankgrip is always altered to suit the make of bike so that it creates a single streamlined unit.
The product is fully compliant with safety standards and will not injure either the rider or the passenger in the event of an accident, because it is constructed from saturated fibreglass and the shell therefore cannot rupture.
The Tankgrip manufacturing process is extensive and the prices are therefore between 400 euros for the lacquer-finished variant and 500 euros for the carbon-fibre version.

How hard does your passenger need to go? I don't believe grab rails are the answer as my opinion is that all a pillion needs to do is squeeze with their legs and hold on to your waist...similar to how you grip the tank and the bars.

I've been knee-down with a passenger on several occasions without grab rails...unless this is more of a question for closed circuit riding...?
