Yep! Thats what retirement is forBillyGoat4130 said:Thank you very much! I'm having a ton of fun building it. Only way it'd be better is if I could buy all the parts at once and work on it as much as I wanted to

+1. I think the skeleton brackets look great, but there's no denying it (they) are more about pretty than performance. Of course, it's a motorcycle and as such is all about ones personal vision of pretty. I personally like a very minimal bike where form follows function, but it still HAS to be pretty, at least in my eyes. I suppose for me, the Suzuki rear sets being themselves a bracket to hold the peg and brake bits should bolt directly on the bike. The notion that it needs yet another bracket to mate it up seems superfluous no matter how cool it is. Alternatively, if you made the Suzuki peg and brake bits fit up directly to your skeleton bracket I'd like it better despite not practically being all that much different. At the end of the day, it's not a whole lot of difference regardless, so whatever you do, if you like it, I say that is the end of the story!RR100 said:

My aluminum jig could bolt right onto the frame and do what you're saying, but I just liked the idea of a bracket moreso. Its solid as a rock this way, I have my doubts even a 1/4 in plate would be more sturdy especially with vibrations and side load over time, but never know. I have to keep remembering I'm not riding this thing off road and certain components will not get near the beating I am use to. I really like how the bracket looks. I had figured in my head while I was building it, to go behind the busa rear set, but I like the look and design so much after finishing I want to figure out how to get it on the outside, basically.
(Already had this in SmugMug)
(Old piece of plate I had cut for the mount when I was thinking plate, too)
Don't go changing things on my part however I think what the other really smart dude was saying is you may have created more mass than need to complete the task.
