OK, I've ordered enough plate to make six sets. I'll keep the price around eighty dollars for everybody. He11 I'm not going to get rich on this but at least it will be beer money. If anyone wants a set longer than 4 inches let me know, could go out to around six inches with a couple sets if needed.

Yes, it is a piece of 1 inch aluminium tubing left over from another project. It is cosmetic, doesn't add much if any strength to the forward controls, just fills in the space between them. The tube is not included with the forward control kit, only had one short piece left which I used. I'll include the vendor and specs for the tubing with the kit.
