Glad I didn't mount mine there like I originally wanted to. I mounted mine vertically to that bracket that sticks out right behind the passenger peg on the left-hand side.
Side mounted License Plate WARNING!! It could have been bad.. very bad.
Soooo, I had my license plate mounted on the upper belt guard. It seems that the welded bracket that holds the rear bolt can't with stand the stress and will break.
Yesterday I was on my way out to work and noticed that the plate wasn't right. Grabbed a hold of it gave it a little shake (lightly)... and pop the bracket broke, just below the welded nut. I am glad that I saw before took it to work. I would have hated for it to break off, and get forced into the rear tire.
So everyone, that uses the belt guard, PLEASE CHECK YOUR BRACKETS.
I would hate to hear about someone getting hurt cause of this. I am in the process of fabbing another on and using the axel bolt. Does anyone know what size the bolt is like 19mm, 20mm, ect.. I don't have a set of calipers.
Thank in advance!

I don't think it holds the belt guard. Here's a good closeup of the bracket - it's where MYLIFE mounted his helmet lock.clar2001 said:The bracket that holds the top belt guard correct ?qwen3579 said:Glad I didn't mount mine there like I originally wanted to.
