After losing my Road6Customs bracket (my own fault) I decided to try to make my own. I traced the license plate onto a piece of cardboard, then roughed in a shape I thought would work. I cut it out and test fitted it a few times, tweaking it to get what I wanted. I then traced it onto a piece of stainless I had lying around and cut it out using a grinder with a cut off wheel. I drilled the holes with a hand drill. To bend it, I clamped a piece of flat steel to it using vice grips, then used another set of vice grips to bend it (a bench vice probably would have made this easier but I don't have one). I then bolted it on. I think it turned out pretty good. After I decided I liked it I painted it black.
Be sure to use loctite on the mounting bolt if you make one that mounts to the belt guard like I did.
Good luck.
