Default Cleaned Up The Deuces Plate Bracket *pic*

Hey guys,

The stock plate bracket on the Deuce looks a bit cheesy, it looks like its floating in mid air. This thing had to go, and right now the money is running low So I did a project today to tidy it up a bit.
I moved the plate up and trimed the black plastic stuff down a bit. It looks a lot better in my opinion.
Enjoy!

Nice job Serge. Made a nice difference getting rid of the gap
between the fender and the plate. Can we see it from the side?

Very nice Serge. I like the way it's tucked in under your fender.[sm=smiley20.gif]

I wish I would have thought about that when I had my Deuce. That looks great!

I like that quite a bit... I just may have to copy you.

Now just yank those reflectors off and that fender will look just about perfect! ;-)
