I have a hotrod chassis shop and use a CNC plasma table for all my brackets, tabs and complex cutting. I made a side mount plate bracket for a friend's Harley the other day that looks pretty sharp. No light mount. Simple, clean, understated. He didn't want billet aluminum or chrome. His original plan was to use lighted bolts, but now we are going to use a wafer LED tucked under the rear frame that shines down from above. No wires to the swing-arm.
So, if I were to make up something similar for the Gen 1 Vmax, would there be any interest around here? I could probably price them at about $90, shipped, in black powdercoat. Perhaps $75 in raw steel. Any takers? If enough interest could prototype on my bike and share pics.
