    Looks like my aesthetic tendency is pretty Honda-like.

    Aluminum versions of the custom rear set adapters.

    Upper bracket locating hole still to be marked and drilled.

    Was able radius the upper-forward portions of the plates to match the frame pretty nicely. The areas exposed above the footpeg brackets will be shaped to match the individual bracket on each side.

    OK, got paid to do a little shaping and cleaning up today. Matched the tops of the brackets to the individual footpeg brackets and gave it some more radius around the very bottom mounting bolt that matches the frame lug.
