Hi,



>- On my last trip I saw an AT from the Netherlands with crash bows looking
really solid! These crash bows were built of two tubes (stainless steel?)
on each >side with a diameter around 50 mm. They were fixed with two clamps
to the front-frame of the bike directly so they did not use the screws
where the radiators >and the aluminium engine cover are fixed. Now to my
question: Does anybody have experience with these crash bows and where can
I buy them? May be >someone is an 'crash-bow-expert': Which crash bows are
recommended to buy? I had an old model of crash bows produced by 'Schuh'.
These crash >bows were fixed to the screws of the radiators and to the
screws of the aluminium engine cover and were not very solid at all...

Seems, like you saw the one our greek list participants are using. Maybe
someone of them can help you. As far as I can remember, this type of crash
bow is a little bit more expensive than the standard ones.

If you will buy a Hepco&Becker one (the standard bow in austria and
germany), go for the one with the "fence" on the side! Looks great!
