i know. It's also the same for the seat, for the fender, for the tank...etc. I'd really rather just buy the unit and not have to deal with it since it's not going to be better looking if I go home made. It's also steel, wires, light bulb, housing, bolts, mount. It's not just a simple piece of steel in the grand scheme of it. I do understand it's an easy undertaking, but I also understand I have a lot on my plate and rather shortcut on things that aren't of great importance.
