Well if you have a picture of the bracket maybe you can get a local welder to fabricate a duplicate. I am not a certified welder myself and I would not want to trust my own welding on a structural member, BUT, I have a lot of experience drawing sketches of what I want and having a machinist or welder make it. Most welders can do this if you give them a sketch with the dimensions and maybe you have to drill a few holes yourself. Maybe that $800 barrier is what is holding up a flood of high boy VWs because that is a lot more interesting than the old V-rod style (in my humble opinion). I am slow in getting a picture of my project online too but I would like to see a picture of yours when you get around to it.
