you cant do it you dont have the correct tools:
very simple install, you need a tig welder, soldering iron, angle grinder, die grinder, 100 gallon air compressor, a cnc machine, owners manual to a space ship, last but not least a plasma cutter, oh yea a timing light and 4 timken bearings

go buy these tools then ask how to do it

Should you have to cut/drill, measure with a micrometer, mark it with a piece of chalk and cut it with an axe.

Reminds me of when I bought my new '11 SG.
I had left the bike with them to get the front lowers chromed, and They told me they would put on the license plate for me. So while I was there and they were at it, I gave them a chrome license plate bracket to put on(at the same time as the license plate). then on the invoice they had itemized out labor to install the license plate bracket @ $9.00.
I had them remove that charge, but they looked at me like I was stealing from them. I mean REALLY?

I guess I don't understand how you approach a business, ask them to perform a service for you, then complain that they want to be paid for the service.

Anyway, c'mon OP, this has to be a joke. Right?

all good so far guys.. i went ahead and drilled a hole in the fender to put a metal mounting strip on there for the plate and frame. I broke a drill bit the first 2 tries, then the third finally went through. Gotta touch up some knicks.



Now in a little bit i just have to level the license plate then drill holes for that and the frame.
