Nicely done. I made my own plate bracket when I did my side mount. I unfortunately sold off my welding equipment this last year. I will buy more again, I love making stuff.

No kidding.. I live right near the VA, in the shadle park area.. Lets ride..

A foreman once told me; The trick to making things easy, is to find the laziest guy on the job, because he will find the easiest way to get something done.. I said, Lazy or smart..lol..

I think that looks great! That's the same thing I was going for but I have no way of fabricating parts so I had to settle on buying some aftermarket stuff. I like yours a lot more! Good job.

I wish I still had all my tools (nasty divorce) so I could fab things up without having to beg shop time off others....

You dont really need any crazy tools. I did mine with a wise, yellow bottle torch, steel pipe to bend over and a grinder then got it powder coated.
