Here is the one I have - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CURVE...3A1|240%3A1318
I've been really happy with it so far. Super easy to put on. And yeah, you have to cut the old tag holder off. If you take your time it will come out looking really clean.

ok jasper yes you can get the kit that mounts on the inside yes it is awefully close to the bolts but as long is there is that gap there won't be any problems unless that bolts start to back out now that would be dangerous reguarless if the plate is mounted like that or not. puzzled plate is really clean, but he also has a differant axel. ill take a picture of mine and ill show you what i mean.

but because of the bag i am looking to mount mine on the axle..
i am guessing though that the mount like yours wouldnt have to be mounted inside the swingarm. i am thinking i could just remove the axle nut, put on the bracket and replace the axle nut using some lock-tite?

Whoadood's setup is nice, he get major props for home built ingenuity. My concern would be the passengers foot/peg. This is what I thought when I saw the Heartland bracket. X amount for a bracket and a frame and than having passenger boot marks and scuffs on it.
Next up was having it that far forward. My local town doesn't give a crap about this stuff so all is good here. Now Florida on the other hand has a hard-on for what ever they can come up with.
These are considerations when choosing a part.
The bracket I posted is on a Rocker so the axle is different but the mounting is the same. Yes the bracket is close, enough so I could not use a zip tie to hold the plate light wire! I'd like a little more room than that than again if it doesn't hit it never will.
