Thanks! I drew it out on graph paper and Ken Hosford, a member on the board, made it in alloy for a ridiculously low price. Tom McVay of MMW motorcycles made the mount to the frame, also for an amazing price.
In other news, was headed back out there this morning when I washed out...slow low-side on a corner. Not much damage to me or the bike, but I do need a new brake pedal arm and the primary lower front is pretty gashed up from the slide. Got some nice rash on my knee through my cotton cargo pants...illustrating the point that jeans just aren't gonna protect you in a fall.
I think I need new tires. The K70s I have once felt nice and tacky, but despite a lot of tread depth, the compound feels hard and plastic-y. Had me worried for weeks but I kept thinking that the tires just aren't that old.
But Indian weather, sea transport two ways, a Rhode Island winter outdoors, and Africa may have conspired to render them less-than-optimal.
Gonna get some new Heidenau K34s and give them a shot, I think. Also considering the Duro 308 (Perelli MT53 copy) but the Heidenaus have had me intrigued for a while, and at this point I want the best grip available. The AM26s would be great if I rode all pavement, but under local conditions, a block tread is best. Also considering a proper dual-sport tire, actually. (Edit: Heidenau K60 looks about perfect)
Oddly, I'm not that upset...I pretty fatalistic with this machine by now.
