I doubt I have a steady enough hand to cut the metal cleanly with a jigsaw, and I'm a bit OCD about the quality of things I buy/put on my motorcycles.
I think my first order of business is to draw up a couple of templates so I can start getting some quotes. I'm sure with me only wanting a couple, the cost will be up there. I know there are some people on the BMW boards wanting similar, so maybe I can make a few sets to sell and defray the cost.

You're welcome
The parts aren't real big so they could be sent back to you UPS.
The more you get, the less expensive each one will be. It costs "X" to set up so the higher quanity you get, the less expensive each one will be.
If you know somebody who TIG welds near you, you could have them cut as seperate pieces and welded together( instead of bent ). It looks like there is a stiffener added anyway so why not exclude a seperate process out of your costs.
Let's say you decide on 6 sets. Order 12 pices of the main upright, 12 pieces of the top mount and 12 pieces of the stiffener.
Then the welder puts 6 together as shown and 6 pieces opposite hand. ( make sure he knows that up front
)
It could be MIG welded but TIG has a much nicer look.
