Pretty sure a local small jobber shop would spin that down for $20 or less, cost you that in shipping 2 ways and I'll bet you could probably talk someone into it for a 6 pack.

I would be glad to do it for you, but like twizted says shipping might cost you
a bit since I am in Nebraska.

I understand the broke thing 100%. Still goin through that since a broken neck
and a badly torn up leg starting 3 years ago. But always willing to help out a
fellow Harley guy! Most people look the other way when one is in need. At
least that's the idea I got from it.

Nothing but truing it up in the 4-jaw with a test-indicator and goin at it...LOL

Here's some parts I made for a bike a while ago, from Stainless and flat stock.

My Son is very tall so extended his forwards 3-1/2 inches.
