AF do them , i got a TS1 type to hopefully fit an Atomic reed valve better they also have a RB type. i do not know the difference probably a bit more cutaway which may or not have suited my need better.not fitted yet so unsure.

The AF ones are a lot thicker which should stop it splitting but when I fitted one the 3 bolt holes were miles out so had to weld them up resulting in having to use Allen screws in the 2 mag housing threads as no room for an 8 mm headed bolt. Seems to me the form was taken off the outside of a cowl resulting in it being larger.

Try Andy Francis. I don't think you'll find a better one off the shelf.

I have been reliably informed that these are not the same as the AF versions. I have ordered one so can pop a pic up if anyone wants when it arrives?

Mine came from Andy Francis and I presumed they were the same as AF's. Either way it didn't fit and I also had to mod the fly cowl where it sits over the lower mag casting that holds the head cowl.

Andy has them modified. The man who modifies them has been doing them for a while. I don't think I've seen a better head cowl out there. They probably are AF ones but modified.
