good deal.. it looks like it needs to be curved some.. i cant tell.. the last batch i did i left enough room to put washers in the side bolts to space it...

did you un screw the two screws in the taillight houseing and fasten it there also or just use the side bolts only?

it should look like the one below (picture of GeorigaRollers install)

sorry for the off-topic nature of this question, but where did you get your side plate holder?

you can find them all over ebay for $25. the one i got was for a harley so i had to take a dremel and make the hole bigger to fit the bolt in the final drive housing. took about 5 minutes to dremel it.

I used all 4 bolts to attach it. It could use a little rounding, but I think it is more the picture that makes it look like its flat. The left side is just under a 1/4 short of the bumper, where as the right is right on, almost kind of rubbing the bumper. No worries, something to work on later and I'm thinking of changing the paint job anyway. And to be honest it's a lot better than I could ever do with fabrication.

As for the plate holder...I cant remember. I had a buddy pick it up for me and the tag is still at his place. See if I cant find out. I like it. It's simple and metal, no plastic crap or big thick wasted space.

Yea i figured there would be some slight variance in each bike.. and of course in fabing these all up.. its easy to enlarge a hole a little and curve it and roll the corners some.. but im glad you like it

Here is what my rear filler plate looks like. Plus, what a side license would look like with saddle bags.

I thought you might appreciate these bikes. Check out the speedo reading at the 4 minute mark of the vid.
