Excuse my ignorance, but why is it called an Africa Twin? Does it actually have roots in the dark continent?

The originals were designed and built for the Paris Dakar rally.

Today I eventually acquired the rear rack for my Africa Twin.
It was ordered at the same time as I ordered the bike but everything is on back order and taking months and months.

Got it fitted to the AT, was thinking I would get it powder coated matt black but first impressions with it fitted and I think it looks ok.

I like the silver it gives a nice bit of contrast , Don't think black would have been as nice :thumbup:

Personally I think the should concentrate on outboards, they make excellent ones.. :scared:

Horrible things, they spent loads on one at work. A trickle of 65c warm water, no good in an office of more than a few people. The kettle was soon returned as it was much quicker than microwave coffee.

Not today, collected it at the weekend, first chance to play with it tonight. Works perfectly, just need to get a chain or strap for it, came with 10 cutters and a couple of drill bits.

Its the gear I keep in the truck so it gets a fair outing and plenty of use, the only thing that broke was the multitool, everything else has stood up to two+years of abuse.

Some f h brundle flooring panels to go on the ramp and stair steps.

But 30mm ball proof which a lot of people don't get right. If someone can walk under 41/100 pitch it is non compliant.
