I tagged you in a set this morning, they're good. I personally navigated the owner into a position where they were needed to do their job and they did it just fine

I can't wait to get these things on mate, the last few times i have had the GQ out i have done big panel damage, These are designed to protect me from that. I don't expect to damage my bar work, its solid but i do expect to lean on it regularly, its just where we drive. Roof Sliders for the win :p

The Camburgs will make giving bar work a fresh coat of paint easy which will be great.

You didn't tag me this morning mate.... Share!

Cheers mate, just had a look. That is identical to what I have bent up for My GQ and ABs GQ. I used 40nb 3.2mm wall (48.3mm) which looks a little heavier than that bar work. But basically identical.

Yeah thats heavy wall 32nb. Keeps they weight down a bit and still lets you get to the fuel filler. Obviously not a huge difference in size but it is tight around the filler. You'll have ro remove the filler cap

40nb with 3.2mm should only be 46.4mm od?

Yes you are right. I was told it was 48.4 but I have not measured it. The dies suit this pipe exactly.

Yea most dies are made for standard pipe sizes..
It's going to be interesting doing 40mm stainless which is actually 38.9mm od in a 32nb die 39.5mm..
Might need to shim it..

we should also weld that extra support on the rear scrub down to the rear bar as well.
