Hey all!
Well I spent most of the day yesterday making the brackets. After numerous attempts I finally got a finished product that I'm happy with. I went through a few variations on ways to create it but I finally got it.
For those that are interested in doing this in the future I'm posting a diagram of the final plan for others to use. The material I ended up going with was a sheet of 16 gauge welding steel. I got it at Lowes for $10. The plan below allows for 1 1/4" between center of hole to center of hole. The hole's them selves are drilled out using a 3/8" bit. The program I used put stuff in digits but for those that don't feel like figuring it out, .38" = 3/8" and .5" = 1/2".
And here's the final product:
I mounted the bracket once I was done cutting for a mock fit. This kind of bent the piece to the shape that contoured the fork and fender mount. Since I had a specific bottom now, I then rounded off the corners for a more finished look. Then I painted using flat black engine enamel ($6 at Lowes).
Well... there it is!
I'll be ordering my K177 & K555 today for my Caspian Blue America! WOOT! :-D
