RE: HOW TO - under fifty bux
Thanks Jimmy,
I couldn't figure out how they workedbecause the bolt holes went in the same direction. On my Softail thepinch bolt goes in from the back of the tree. At right angles to the turn signal mount bolts.
You have them mounted to a set of fork tube clamps and not the pinch bolts.
Have a beer for me.

I was messinaroundand gettin rid of a6 pack in the garage over the weekend and this is what I came up with for my voltage regulator........
I have the black finned Derby cover and timing cover on my 06 Streetbob and that was the motivations.
First I took the voltage reg. off, real easy.... two allen head bolts and fish the wiring out, pay attention to the route of the wires to it all goes back in the same (real basic stuff here)
Then take a flat file and start filing the edges if the fins off. I used a small peice of cardboard so I could file em flat and protect the side of the next fin
also, I found that the finer file you use the better, my rough file made for a quicker job but also wanted to chip the black off the side of the fin

RE: HOW TO - under fifty bux
Here's one you won't find in a catalog, the worlds simplest and cheapest side mount plate bracket.
There's really not much to it I took enough pictures to do a step by step but once you see it it's almost an insult to everyones intelligence. 
One thing I would do differently is use thicker metal I used about 1/16" cause I had some laying around but it vibrates to beat all hell at idle I think 1/8" would be better.

I agree with you that thicker stock would be beneficial, and,
at the very least, add a gusset (first pic below).
Better, a full back with gusset, and,
a couple stifflegs to the corner points at the bottom.
Still cheap AND simple.
Those harmonics you mention are gonna kill your effort otherwise.
