Damn straight Karl. Good on you for helping Carrie and her dumb ass husband who left home without new tires.Take being said, iffen it was just you standing there, you might still be there, No way was I going to leave Carrie stranded beside the road.
When you mentioned you were riding down to Tucson, I was thinking of all the heat you were facing. Once the temp exceed 105 degrees, there is not much possible to make the ride more comfortable exceot for the swimming pool at the hotel you check in to at the end of long hot day of riding through what seems to be a blast furnace.
For reference, just make one out of flat steel stock. I prefer 3/16" thick x 3/4" wide myself. It will have zero negative effects while running moto tires. I can't recall for sure, but it may be possible to use longer bolts and mount the oem one on the outside of the tabs in an emergency. Most any hardware store could help you fab one up pretty easily with the oem one as a template.

Miss Donna and Papa Chuy Viejo had dinner and drinks at the Perch Pub and Brewery in downtown Chandler last night, in the hallway to the restrooms some Dickwad ******* wrote: "The Irish are just Mexicans that were born too damned lazy to steal!"
