Guess the project!

Here is the final product. Just need to pull it and paint it. I think it turned out good. The wife is really happy with it being more secure. Obvious advantages:
1. Helps with center of gravity. Even though it was only 7.5 lbs it should help in cornering.
2. Traffic lights will now be easier tripped.
3. Better air flow than original.

Now all you have to do is come up with a way to mount it for those of us who don't have your highway bar! I guess I should have made my guess last night since I was thinking about underside panel replacement that would let air flow down but keep most of the crap out of there.

Why paint it if it's stainless? Nobody on the street sees under there!

It's regular steel. Actually, the bolts for the highway bars are connected through actual holes that are part of the frame so we should be able to make something up. You will have to have the bump skid for this to work. The OEM one is a very, very small piece of thin plastic. About 1/4 the size of the bump skid.

Since the fuel venting leakage issue of the 2013 is resolved, can these be made from titanium to produce cool white sparks while riding at night...

Great idea, but I do see one problem with your current design.
Changing oil - as you will need to completely remove it to drain the oil. Now if you could put holes in those two spots that do not have a sharp edge that would solve the issue.

Both drain plugs are accessible without moving the screen. I made a point of that.

It looks a little distorted from the picture, but front to back width is only 2 feet.

Since I have put this one I have yet to have a light trip. And somehow it has reduced the frame torque a little. I like it! I'll run it for a week or so and raise the bike and give an lookover!
