I just made my own side plate bracket the other day.
I just took a piece of 1/8 thick aluminum and slowly bent it so it didn't crack and mounted it to the top belt guard bolt.
I'll get picks of mine up later. I have to go for a quick ride to fight with my cable company.

I made my own as well... just went and got a angle bracket like they use on shelves from home depot, cut out a back plate out of allum. and then mounted my plate to that... from there just drilled out the hole to fit the shock bolt and put it all back together! works and looks great! I also am a bit intrested to see how you did it SIN i like to see other peoples takes on a project

If you want to light up the plate, this is what I did on mine. Just a suggestion. Also, I copied from one of my older posts...
I took the stock bracket, the piece with the three holes, bent it as it needed to be (not that easy of a task, as that sh*t is sturdy), went to Wal-Mart, got a chrome mc license plate frame, got home took the rear chain guard bolt out, put it through the license plate frame/plate/and back on the bike where it belongs. Looks sweet and was only about $3 total to do. As for lighting it up, to keep the cops off of my *** (small town living lately), while I was at Wal-Mart, I purchased an LED light that was for a car license plate frame, spliced it into my tail light (not brake light), pushed the rear fender in a bit (above the plate, as it's a bit flexible), and wedged it (very carefully in there). Finally, I hid the wiring under the rear fender, along with the factory wiring. It's really not as hard as I just made it sound. See pics below (sorry they're so crappy. not enough light in the garage, and i had to use my crappy camera)...
Gone 1,000 miles not one problem...knock on wood...
