Homebrew is more fun for sure. I think yours looks more professional than mine but I definitely would not bother to switch anything with bolts (and need for levelling?) between bikes any more reguarly than once annually or so...
I might also just buy something if I was going to put any real weight on the front of my bike.I'm going to want a bigger bag at some point but I don't want it so close to my bars + the weight thing, hopefully when it comes to it I can DIY a saddle bag that I don't hate somehow.
how did you fix the copper onto the steel?
I... didn't.
It's got some rubber on the rod for a tighter fit/to protect the copper as it is quite thin (I wasn't sure it would work so I chose to spend 100 yen on copper rather than 1000 yen on stainless steel)
I guess it'll get loose with time but I'll think about that when it happens (probably just put a load of epoxy on it)

It looks fantastic tbh.
I made this atrocity to use with a Carradice bagman. But in reality it’s too much of a faff to swap the bagman between the two bikes. So I’ll probably end up just buying a jack rack. But your example makes me think I should endure with a home brew solution.
