    I see them on Yahoo.jp fairly often. Always thought they were original options.


    Past Hondas:
    1960 125cc Honda Benly CB92R
    1964 305cc Super Hawk CB77, the only vehicle I have ever bought new in my life!
    Honda CB160, roadraced as 175cc 1967-1970.
    Honda Lawnmower, bought used in 2003, caught fire and melted in 2005.

    Available in the colour of your choice, I suppose... http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f111189288

    I was going to suggest the same thing... wondering where to attach it at the rear though.

    I used a pair of large 4" magnets that you can buy for cleaning the glass on aquariums and fish tanks, works a treat!

    here's our first one, damaged tent cover, small length of Bungee....

    Click image for larger version.  Name: beat cover.jpg  Views: 240  Size: 185.8 KB  ID: 2198

    next one will be as the ads, attached to rear using the poppers already there, possibly with pockets for mirrors instead of Bungee or maybe Velcro strips.

    Having something made up seems to be the best option .
