As a Canuck , I was so appalled , yet interested , in the absurdity of it all that I made the turn . Great pee . Massive neon sign .Greg Smith Equipment Sales in Delaware? Bought one from him 15 years ago. The only thing good about Delaware is no State sales tax. We made a day of it. Got some trailer parts from https://www.easternmarine.com, a lift from Greg Smith, Booze, Ammo and Cigarettes from the local outlets. The old 87 Ford p/u was just about dragging the bumper.
As far as buying a side/sides no need to do that. Just use the holes already in the deck. Slip in a piece of pipe, front and rear. Then get a piece of 2"x12" lumber and mount it to the pipe with U bolts. Both sides or one side, just use end caps if you want to do one side. Or skip the U bolts and just use the pipe with end caps.

With the proper cam grind (Web 312a) my 850 with 10.1:1 static compression is easier go kick than it was stock.I'm on +.040 pistons on my mk3. I'm 180lbs and can stand on my kick-start and hear the bike laughing at me!
