The first time I saw pics of the Projektzwo bumpers were on Phil's website
some 9 years ago. I believe the others were copied from those plans.

As for the best tube bumpers made, I have not seen anything better than the
original Projektzwo in terms of quality. Of course, they were more than
double the price of anything currently being offered by Aircooled.net or
Van-cafe.com. Besides that, the US sourced bumpers can be customized with
various options unavailable from Projektzwo. I do like the ball ends of the
PZ bumpers vs. flat end caps on the US-made bumpers.
