In my BBS02 conversion of a bike with a 73mm BB, I was considering getting a stabilizer bar from Luna (https://lunacycle.com/bsbf-1-stabilizer-bar-for-bbs02-and-bbshd/). After seeing the amount of additional bending needed, and the fact that it holds the motor quite a bit lower than you can get it with just the locknut, I decided I'd try designing a better one.

The main things I'm going for are lining up correctly for a 73mm BB, and holding the motor almost as high as it can go. I'm also avoiding interference with the bottle cage bolts. This is really only meant to work for my bike, a 2017 Salsa Fargo, but it would probably work for others with a 73mm BB and similar geometry.
Let me know what you think, and if you would do it differently.
