Hi
The threaded rod is to clamp my spare tyre down, the alloy box you can see is my radiator, that why the spare is mounted on top of the tank, this was all on my my old 1302, Im doing the same setup with my 1303.
The 2 diagonal bars take up only a small amount of room, perhaps you could fit a space saver spare in the remaining room?
When I made mine I just had some 1/4 plate profile cut, then I Veed some 25 mm tube so that it would kick up at the correct angle, then welded it in place. You need to make the holes for the strut top bolt hole have a little bit of clearance, otherwise they can be hard to get in place unless you drop the strut down before bolting it in.
