Hi guys, i posted a while back about a swingarm mount a made by hand, and it seemed there was a bit of interest in them. Im going to post a picture here of what i made. I am working in designing something similar in CAD so i can use a CNC to cut them out and make multiple quickly and uniformly. I am making this post to see who all would be interested in one and what price range would you be willing to pay? Not trying to find the max price i can charge, just dont want to make a ton of them if im gonna end up losing money/wasting my time on them NOTE: the piece mounted to the bike will cleaner off the CNC, and the piece the mounts the plate will be a solid piece of angle aluminum. I will ensure they look good though (to my standards at least)

Not so sure I like the idea of having something between my axle nut and the adjuster plate. Nice looking bracket though.

Not so sure I like the idea of having something between my axle nut and the adjuster plate. Nice looking bracket though. It mounts the same way the swingarm brackets that cost $60+ mount, i have had mine on for a few weeks now and it seems just fine, i put it on over the block, then the washer for the nut, then the nut, torqued to spec (which i forgot, ill look up again if needed) it holds really well, the main piece is steel with the piece bolted to the license platw itself being aluminum. I didnt want to weld them because this way it can be taken apart if needed for any reason. ALSO the brackets you buy from big name manufacturers are a lot bigger than this one so they fit most models, this is quite small compared to those. I feel being huge defeats the purpose of being sleek and all. interest and comments are appreciated.

Here is what the sketch of the main part looks like. I plan on machining them monday and I will post an actual "for sale" thread depending on interest level

what did you do for lighting? They are sticklers out here. I used LED bolt lights on mine. They are pretty bright. I could include them if people really wanted i guess, you could order em online just as easy though...
