Sorry guys, I just spoke to Rick, and to make any of these available to anyone, even not for profit, I would have to a vendor. I totally understand where he is coming from, and I simply don't have the time to try to make these.

Haha, thanks, but not doing this to try to make these in production. There wouldn't be enough profit in it and my time is more valuable to me than what I could make off of this. I run my own business, so time is tight and I'm a greedy little piggy with my free time .

Edit: I just ordered my material on Thursday to take to a local cutter to cut mine. Material was $60 after shipping and cutting it is gonna be $150 plus welding etc. I am gonna have about $300 in his damn rack by the time I get done. I wish I had known you were working on th same and we could have worked together on the design and I could have paid you to have me one cut as well.
Hopefully I will have mine cut in the next few weeks. I think everyone would like it! If I could get my cut cost down to $50 each it would be worth my time to produce a few. At $105 each, it’s not worth it.
Yes, its not cheap to make this kind of stuff if you don't have your own tools to do so.

Thanks! I just wanted something that is actually functional and the little OEM guy wasn't cutting it.

If you ever go into production count me in.
I need the rack to work with the OEM Honda brackets which I already have.
Sorry, no plans for that, just making something for myself. Maybe Av8er can help you out with that

3/16 steel should be strong enough compared to a 3/16 aluminum as used in the Dale's rack. It has been said a Dales will support in the area of 40 lbs.
On a different note, water jet is the cleanest cutting method but my plasma table with the correct tweaking does pretty nice also.

I am gonna set my rack with a tour pack for the misses, so the fugly won't hurt too bad
I was looking at those tour packs too, would be cool to know the bolt up pattern ahead of time. What tour pack are you getting? I was actually playing around with a honeycomb pattern on the rack. This would allow for all kinds of bolt ups, look cool (to me), and still keep the weight down.
