Which may suit?
Or find a hand rail manufactuer and have some made to measure?
Last time I was in B+Q I noticed they sell stainless tube for oudoor hand rails, along with end caps and bends etc. Perhaps you could even make your own?. If they are only for bling and not to be used as rock sliders it will be more than substantial enough.

I had a set of the German ones but their way of bolting them on at the back end is rubbish so you have to adapt them a tad, i also made them sit tighter to the body which worked better and stops you banging em on your shins all the time though I still did!!

Hi, Mearnsy, Had a good look around a lot of DIY places, but its mostly interior stuff with stainless coating, no use outside. Rust in days. Still on the lookout though. Will post if i have any luck. Cheers Rick

if your going down the make it your self road how about normal mild steel then get it powder coated or sprayed ???

IF i was going down the route again I wouldn't go for the stainless as they weigh a ton and really hurt when ya bang ya head on them!!!
I would try a local Alloy fabricator and get exactly what U want made plus ask on here if anyone wants a set, then either get them polished or chromed.
