Very safe on the grab handles. I'll pop out later and do some pics for you
The long steel bar is to support the top rack plate but I think it's a different set-up to the grab handle mount

Just line up the plate to the existing bolts. Ignore strapping, that secures my tailpack
And just not to confuse things, ignore the crossed out bolts, they hold the indicators.

The bars are made by Givi and support the rear of the subframe when there is a load on the rack / a topbox. My bike has these too and others have reported failures when using a topbox but no diagonals, so leave them on.
My Givi plate is bolted to the Yamaha grabrail but in a different way to that shown by Catsbum above, using the W-shaped plates Givi sometimes supplies.
If you do a Search using my handle and appropriate other key words you should find an old posting by me with pix and description.
ADD This thread discussing breakages includes my post #3:- http://www.carpe-tdm...=35274&p=357817
IIRC the top of the grabrail is convex and so the plate needs support under any bolts going into the edge of the rail or the plate will be flexed / bent so the box not fit correctly and the lock will be stressed.
ADD 5/12/19 This post #3 shows the mounting details:- http://www.carpe-tdm...=34995&p=354271
Later post #12 adds details.

Hi all, would like to say thanks to all the people that have took the time to answer my questions.

It's one of the very few that I've actually bothered paying into a membership of, might even be the first apart from the boaty one I ran myself for a few years. And no annoying ads!!!
