I got two pipes and bent them to the shape of the original bumper, and then I bent some checker plate and welded it in between the pipes. I just need to make some strong mounts now, and i'll have a strong bumper that looks kind of like the original.
I will try get some pictures of how it looks so far
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

The propane tanks on that bronze one look like Mad Max rocket boosters
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

When the bumper fell off my mate's Landy when he was doing about 20-30 mph. He scrapped the old one and went into the steel stores at work. He came out with a piece of 6 inch mild steel channel which had about 3/8th thick walls. He replaced both front and back.
If something hits him / he hits something, I know who will win!!

2 & 3 are usually the same.
