Passenger grab handles melted. Yeah you heard correct. No my scoot did not catch fire. Me the fuss pot that i am decided to tart up handles as they were a bit scratched from gear bag straps used when touring.
Paint them myself. No i will get them professionally powder coated. Got a call from company to say there is a rubber coating over the alloy we will try to burn it off in the oven. Got the second call to say they have melted

Made from some hard plastic

Long story short they are ....ed . They are to rich for me new from Yamaha. Lots more tmaxs in Europe. Maybe you no someone or a dismantler with one. Prepared to pay freight to New Zealand and some extra.They are not a item that would need to be replaced normally.
When people put top boxes on they may not need them. Can set up payment through pay pal a/c. Can someone help please
It is a 2008 mk3. I think the mk4 handles are the same?

Which year of Tmax have you got? I think I have the handles for at least 2 versions of the Tmax which are just kicking around the garage. Sods law says I haven't got the right ones for yours but its worth a look.
I just looked up the price of the Yam ones.......I see why you are seeking alternatives!!!

To clarify, I've got the standard handles for the mk3 (2008-11) and mk6 (2017+). Its possible that the mk3 might fit the mk4 and 5 as they have the same chassis design but I can't confirm that.
