Anybody know where i can them? Price? Shipping?

I'm in Singapore, the sales staff here just sit around in the Honda show room waiting for their pay cheques.

"Huh? what???... cases??"

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but on the Trans Alp site:
94-04 Africa Twin RD07 soft 38 liter nylon saddlebags and mounts. Bags are waterproof and lockable. $95 + shipping. PM me and I'll send you the seller's email. Otherwise, good luck.

A very nice 98 model 750, we call it a "Touratech" rather than an At as he has all the Touratech bits !!!!.

I just hate those Johnny On The Spot photos. They seem to capture your bad side.

Question...
Are all AT's equal??? the tank on my RD03 is pretty beaten up. (too much body filer for my liking.) I've got a line on a tank from an RD07... are they interchangable. My first impression is no... but has anyone tried it wit h success?
Cheers... or should I say Tanks a lot. (couldn't resist...)

RD03 and RD04 Tanks will interchange , the RD07 has a different frame and the tanks wont fit the earlier models.

I know RD03 and RD04 tanks can swap, but the design changed with the RD07 model. That said... it still might mount up though (but the cowl bits wouldn't work then).

I'd have thought you could find a good used off ebay or something. I've actually got an extra tank (I've got two Africa Twin tanks are really need to get rid of one) I've been wanting to sell. I think the last time I posted I wanted $225 for it. It's got a couple very small dents and some paint chips, but it's totally sound (no body filler). I think the shipping would probably make it not worth it though. It'd probably cost you like $300 total to get this tank to you. Plus, it's painted in this dark blue with grey trim (it's the factory paint job that I think looks ugly

). Let me know if you're interested.

If not, check ebay for a tank. A nice old classic like yours shouldn't be running around with a bondo tank!
