I have seen similar types of stays with a slot cut in the end of the round rod and the flat piece with the eye inserted into the slot then welded.

Erik, seems you have picked massive steel brackets welded construction to reach around the headlamp shell. I will have stainless polished tubing like on the 600 cc Horex. I´d think you could do same with a little bit of bending the tubes where needed . The pressed ends at the tubes are not hard to do: Some angle grinder shaped mild steel material for use in a vice would produce some radii so no primitive straight pressed shape would show then.

You showed your bike before but in my eyes the alu plate looks a bit out of place, too obvious as not standard. Well, that is an individual thing really , mods are no problem for me for sure. But my thinking is all components should fit in a common style of the complete bike. Radical designs can do with all sorts of mods, otherwise some goodies on a "standard" bike just look wrong.
