Has anyone installed a retractable grab handle on there skeeter? Or does anyone have one they could take a picture of the back or describe how it is installed? I am installing it on my 2011 ZX but want to make sure I do it right.

I installed one of these to a late 2010 ZX190. Not sure about yours but the better position was directly between your legs. If you were to position beside your right leg, the ice box comes in to play. I cut a template in a thin piece of timber first so that i could nut out how this thing actually works. once i understood this i cut out the section below seat accordingly, the major thing i then encountered was directly behind the wall, Skeeter fill this section with expandable foam, i guess for buoyancy. Man it took some time digging out what was needed, but in the end, no worries! Now my misses has something else to hold on to! LOL
Thanks for the information! Did the screws go through the glass? I can not figure out the mounting.
Yes they did, but like i said, make a template out of anything, even cardboard to get a feel for how it works. Another thing also, a little trick i had to do also was tie some descent nylon string to it to drop in thru the cut out, then with a bit of manouvering, pull back on the string to get it right. but like i said, if you do the template first hopefully all of this will make some sense!
When you put your's in take pictures and notes. I'll post it above in the rigging post pinned above. I am serously thinking of putting one in mine.
Scott are you able to take some pictures of your set up?

Where can I get these handles. Want to put then on my passenger side seat. Looked on ebay but did not find them.

I have done that. Not finding any dealers that have the retractable grab handles only once that have all the other tie downs they make. Hoping someone may know a dealer that sells the grab handles.Originally Posted by Quick Release
