Do you really want cheap?
There's always Hepco & Becker, they do a nice big top plate.

There's nothing wrong with SW kit, it's made to last.

Aha, I hadn't realised!
Yes, yes, yes, SW Motech is great, I have their crash bars, they're brilliant quality.
They have a UK distributor too.

Plate came today, no other charges, 20 min to fit, my US20 fits perfectly on it and leaves plenty of room on pillion seat for anything else.
Well worth the money.
