I haven't got one to sell; but I can report on the "Renntec" grab-rail I recently fitted. You can see it on:
http://www.renntec.co.uk/yamaha_trx850_grab_rail
This web-link has a good photo. The Renntec item is a bit pricey at £47.50, and is quite heavy; but it is well-made and is quite easy to fit. Once on, it makes removing the rear fairing more of a pain, so bear this in mind and do any under-seat jobs first. One result of fitting the Renntec grabrail is that the rear end of the pillion "seat(!)" now sits marginally higher than before, leaving a slight gap that looks a bit like a mistake.
But it works well enough, and, given the appalling standard TRX provision for a pillion passenger, fitting a grab rail is the least one can do!
It is worth fitting a grab rail if only to have something to attach bungees to!
Renntec also make a "luggage carrier" version of the grab rail, which adds a little platform above the rear of the tail fairing.

My TRX has a Renntec grab rail; but I've just bought on eBay a Renntec luggage carrier as well. I propose to fit the carrier, and if it looks too ugly, I'll just use it for big trips, and keep the standard grab rail for normal use (it'll take only ten minutes to swap them over). But if the carrier looks OK, I'll leave it on and sell the grab rail.arrivisto wrote:Renntec also make a "luggage carrier" version of the grab rail, which adds a little platform above the rear of the tail fairing.
One little point (see previous post): fitting either Renntec item means that the pillion seat is jacked up a few mm at the rear. This looks a bit odd; but it has the advantage that it is now easier to use the pillion seat as a helmet lock. Previously, there was barely enough clearance to do so. Having lost TWO (!!) pillion seats, I am now very careful to check that it is properly secured afterwards.
