Wonderful. Just wonderful. That is exactly how I imagined it would come together had I used a welder. But DAMN that is a lot of money. Now there are 2 of this exact design in existence.

Please report back on any issues/design changes you might employ. So far as you know, I'm loving mine right now and have found no problems at all. The only thing is if I wanted to add a topcase, I would need to reinforce the mount for front-to-back forces probably using the passenger pegs. Or i could go the passenger seat route. Who knows.

Kudos, I'm glad I could be of help. Quick question. How hard would it be for you to fab up another one and how much would you think it'd cost now that you've gotten the hang of it all? Also, how much does that setup weight? I wonder how much different it is between steel welded vs aluminum w/ steel bolts/brackets.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that it may be a nice idea to move the turnsignals back a little bit. They get obscured by the cases entirely at there stock location.
