Under the fender? Never thought of that unless your talking about a side-mount. Can't wait to see what it looks like.

I made my own bracket out of aluminum stock that bolts to the back of the stock light in side the fender...NO DRILLING. A little engineering, but achieved the look I was searching for. Not sure how you did yours Luxe.

Thats kinda high up inside the fender... It dosent flop around at all ? Did you have to take the fender off ?

Go look underneath your fender and you will see a support strut that runs horizontally (rivit points) from side to side to give the fender rigidity. The aluminum strut runs behind that up to the tailight mounting points. I also "Zip-tied" the tag bar to that. A little wiggle for and aft but it's not going anywhere!

I'll take a pic of the template I made and do some sketches to try and illustrate. The wife is gone TDY for a week and she took my camera with her...so it will be a little while.

Thanks for the compliment...makes me proud for the efforts!! The tutorial is just a way to share some insight or another way of making something that much more unique.

Preeech!

Any word on that mount you made up man or has the wifey left for good with the camera ??
I was hoping Luxe would chime in as well about his mount.


Thanks again
