A few more pics of her current state:







Here's the license plate mount. I just took the rounded end of the belt guard and cut it up. I utilized one of the mounting holes and bolted it between the frame and lower shock mount.Needs to be re-painted...it's on the to-do list.



The mounting hardware has LEDs inside the bolt head, which is why you see heat-shrink on there...



I plan on painting the tank VW Candy White to match my Volkswagen R32:
