I ended up buying one from BKRider...but i realize I could have just as easily cut one to specifically fit my bike.

I don't get why the splash guards don't go past the top of the swingarm. Mine doesn't, at least.

BUT...since I'm a nice guy:

Here is the bracket you want, or at least something LIKE it.

It's hard to find **** on ebay sometimes because people word things stupidly.

Here are some from J&P

Scroll down and you'll see the right ones. I like to cut off all the hangy stuff and just drill two holes for the plate and frame (if you use one)

A search for "taillight bracket" brought me several results.
Thanks - I appreciate it.

The 1/2" cutout is for the rear brake line.

Your brake line is 1/2" wide?

Not quite, but you have to have enough room for the swingarm and fender extension to move without pinching, cutting or damaging the brake line.
