Well I didn't actually fabricate my own, but did the layout and cut the angle iron to the correct angle assembled the parts for the wielder. Once it was wielded I cleaned up and painted with a good quality rattle can paint. I cut the angle iron with a 4" angle grinder.
Laying out the cut angle was simple, I leveled the 5er front to back, placed the angle iron on the pin box and took a level and drew a level line on the angle iron, just that simple. The one thing I missed a bit was the extension froward, should have been about 3" further.
With the bikes behind the cab, they are safe, in your view, don't bounce around and see very few bugs.
