Just got my new rims, waited just about a year for them, JB-power magtan had to make a set of these for the 2014 and newer, Honda changed the axel and bearing size. This was done with the great help from Takashi [samurider]many many thanks to him. Takashi says the first ones to get made. It was a long wait but he did it.
Just two more mods left.

I think you should pick up a mid 80's CB1100F factory fairing for it and somehow make it fit

Thanks guys, Putting a USA style cb1100f fairing on has crossed my mind, but about 5yrs ago I got hit with cancer, and I can not take the wind pressure any more. The drugs that the doc put me on makes me feel like I am twice my age and that is really old. Hoping to get to the western rally this year. If I can stay off my Africa twin long enough. Put over 13,000 kms on it last year, plus riding my other bikes.

Sorry to hear about your fight with the big C.
Love the pictures - which I assume are the Canadian Rockies.
I rode through the Rockies for a week in 2010 and was on cloud nine the whole time. Absolutely awesome!!

The new rims are super rusty1!!

Yea I wouldn't give up looks for comfort. Shame the drugs are taking their toll on you.

Glad you are enjoying your Africa Twin. I hear they are amazing bikes and to be able to ride one in the country in the pics you posted would be amazing as well. That first pic is stunning.
