Very nice, I'm with you on the symetrical sides. I wish triumph made them like that from the factory. I gotta learn how to weld too.
I dont like the safety wiring closure though. Its like youre capable of welding up some nicely finished stuff, but to anyone just glancing at your bike, they would think you just rigged up some scrap to hold the battery down. I'm all for reusing the license plate and getting a gritty look and all, I just think the safety wiring looks cheap.
Oh yeah, whats the thickness of the backplate? Aluminum or steel?
