I can do very basic fabrication, but it's not going to be the best possible, and it's not going to look good. On my old beemer, I didn't mind fitting my own stuff because that's an ugly bike. If I put my own stuff on the Triumph, it'd ruin the look of the bike, so I'm happy to pay the freight for other people's work.
