Default Home-made plate holder done....with pics

Some free time, some scrap layin around the shed, some new dremel attatchments...HAD to do somethin with it all&nbsp\\;
I made three mounting holes so I could change locations if the mood strikes....It's axle mounted now, but it will also mount on the pass peg, and sits where the passengers foot doesnt hit it....
I just have to smooth out the plastic where the taillight is...at least till I can afford an aftermarket light to fill the space (not any time soon)....in the last photo, you can also see my "1.99 cupholder" mounted on the p-peg.....a welcome addition on long rides
Opinions are welcome....good or bad....I got thick skin

Thanks guys! Most of the stuff gets done out of neccessity (cupholder) or lack of funds (plate)....it's always nice when they turn out good though&nbsp\\;

And built will beat bought any day!
