Actually it might still be better once lights are fitted. It still needs some design work and fabrication to fit lights - if only I had time! I don't think I have time to manufacture these, but it is a shame, as they'd probably come out a lot cheaper than those on the market.
    Don't suppose you would have any drawings you'd choose to share, Simon??? It IS a great looking bar. I've cobbled up a D1 bar for the back of mine to get a RWC. But it's fugly.

    Would also be keen. Might be able to convince the father-in-law to make me one at his work....
    If you would prefer to not actually send the drawings themselves I'd be happy with some screenshots and I can redraft myself as I'm proficient in CAD (again up to you!)
