    Looking at those last two reminds me why I always wanted an Africa Twin!

    From what I can gather they don't make them any more, and I couldn't find anywhere to buy them online. I'd been keeping an eye on ebay for the last year too (and even on the european ebay's from time to time throughout that time -checking in every week when I remembered).

    You've probably been quite lucky to get them They're very similar to the regular hepco becker bars but there's lots of nice touches on yours that seem to make them better imho (like the rubber damping on the connections, the cross braces across the loops, all the tabs and connectors look nicely welded rather than just squashed tube etc.).

    Here's a few more photos in no particular order:
    Thanks Those should come in handy next week (with a bit of luck - keep trying to find the time to sort the bike out then things get in the way).

    And one more of the finished article (you might be able to make out Stonehenge in the background):
    Those ardcase boxes look great (I'm about to order some myself when I stop dithering about what shape to order).
