Auxiliary light plate Template

[volcane]

Hi all
I will shortly be receiving a set of auxiliary led lights to mount to my 2010 F650GS. I was wondering if anyone had the dimensions for fabricating a light plate to mount them on.
The commercial ones look awfully expensive for what they are.
Happy new year,

Best regards volcane

Got a plate waiting to go on my 1200, not fitted yet so easy to template but no idea if it would suit.

Same as the one featured in this story

I've knocked up a couple of Aux light mounting brackets.

I made a carboard template when making the first one, using the front beak mounting points as my starting point.
From there I just guessed how much rise I needed (for the F8GS, where the indicators are mounted low down, or drop when making one for the F658GS).
I added to that the length of the leg needed to safely mount the aux light. All this done with card.
I then mounted it onto the bike, with the beak fitted under the card, and bent then creased the card into the shape I wanted.
Once I was happy with the card template, I used it to shape the alloy plate I have laying about the garage (old bashed and dented road signs ).
