I would use tube and flat bar welded into it. If you flattent the bar it softens it and I will pretty much guarantee that they will snap due to the vibrations. I speak from experience

Bent mine out of a length of conduit, the steel suppliers was shut and I had a length of conduit knocking around !!
Drilled and rivnutted for the guard mount, they are very sturdy and I can actually sit on my mudguards with no ill effect.
Let me know and I'll up some pics if required.
Cheers,
Bob
