The only ones i see on ebay are either powder coated or painted.

I was starting to think some aluminum and a tig welder wouldnt be a bad idea

I went and found the one I have yesterday. It has some rub marks from the shock on it. I could take some pictures if your interested in it.

The one in your picture is chromed steel. Nice classy, aftermarket piece in the day.
The one on mine is hand fabricated aluminum / heli arc welded to shape.
Since then, cut and shaped a little more at swingarm, to let more chain oil spray on my stockings with my skirt :laugh:

Yeah peter send me a pic.

I figured that was a fabricated one that you had, what kind of thickness aluminum is that?

you can see where the shock rubbed it. I would keep my eye out for a nice one on ebay. This one wont go anywhere in case you cant find one.

On that bike the forks look like KZ forks (no reflector) and the rear grab rail is from a different model (too tall).
