That looks good, well done.

What exhaust is fitted ? I am doing a similiar thing myself and looking to find a slim exhaust so I can get the panniers equal both sides.

anyone tried two small cans under the seat, move the tail assembly up? I am not sure about the low slung exhaust option- would be worried about hitting stones with it

Great job making the rack, how did you bend the pipe work ??? I'm rather stuck bending a pipe as the cross brace on the rear .. I started off with a givi rack, it was so light and poorly designed I felt I needed to do something !!!

Salut Matt
