The bottom line is I don't like how the one's available look.

If I were to have one made from scratch, what are the hard points I would use to connect with the bike.

I would prefer NOT single sided attatchments.

Pics would help me.

Is this so you that can carry a larger toolkit?

I'd go with something that bolts to the trans housing under the parts that hold the rubber donuts for the peg plates.

Could be... Very Happy

Thanks.
I'm talking with someone in the UK.
They can make one in powder coated SS.

Just my 2 cents worth but I would stay away from powder coat and stainless steel. SS is not the best with fatigue, think K11 headers, and powder coat can hide cracks and bad welds.

Good quality welded steel tube will work for you or you could step up to DOM (drawn over mandrel). I would also suggest that you use round tube rather than square or rectangle. You will want to cross drill and weld in tubes at your mounting points rather than just sticking a bolt in a hole.
