Hey dude! Looks nice! Looks like you used my template?

[rsoffar]

yeah pretty much used yours as a guide...the way i did the folds on mine are a little different.

i woulda just bought one from you if i were not so freakin poor haha.
but i had fun making it so thats a plus.

You may want to angle your plate a bit more. It looks like one bottoming out of your shock and your plate will hit the rubber.

[Duc L'Smart]

Mucho Nice So when do we get to see it?!?

[rsoffar]

im hoping to make it out to the next lunch or something   

hey el matador,
what gauge metal do you use to make your brackets?
i think what i used to make this might be a little too thin and flimsy, i used 26g i think, and after riding it about 50 miles with the weight of the lights and plate it kinda made it sag a bit.
might remake one with thicker metal or just beef this one up somehow.

I use 16 gauge. It makes it a lot harder to bend, but there is a certain trick to it. Pm me for my digits if you want me to walk you through the process of doing it...

cheers!
