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 )

Yes, that was one of my concerns,so I did test it with my number one passenger.
The pics do make it look a lot closer to the seat than it really is...

Great job did you have to bend the tubing ?

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.

Very pleased with the result and when I have to push the bike back now, The handle doesnt bend and move like the original bit of plastic...

What do you mean 'push it back'? Africa Twins don't break down do they?
