Look mommy, look what I've made!!!
Knowing how fragile and "always moving" the rear Africa Twin rack is, I started with a CB250 aftermarket rack to create something sturdy and "adventurous" looking.
Again cutting, welding, grinding, and welding and cutting.... All it needs now is a bit of powder coating

Nice job.
 . . . but i would try it with a pillion on board before painting, . . the grab rail looks a bit close to the seat. (from personal experience  )

The pics do make it look a lot closer to the seat than it really is...

Not really. I used the old rack bends and put it all together like a jigsaw puzzle. The old one I bought from ebay for £15 and it looked a bit like the one in the pic.
