Looking to get the 312xl myself for my blue rocker c. How are yall mounting yours? I am worried about it rubbing and wearing through the paint of the swing arm. Also was interested in having side mounted license plate. For those that have both swing arm back and side mount plate, how did you accomplish?

The swing-arm mounted Roto-Plate required the bag be mounted forward to clear it.
I mounted it on a 12"x12" piece of aluminum diamond plate I cut to fit.
I used a three hole mount using the upper 2 belt guard mounts and the lower guard mount.
I'm going to change to the axle mount Dennis at TopDownProducts makes for the Roto-Plate. I'll be able to mount the Alloy Arts passenger pegs I have once the bag is moved back to a normal mount position.

WARG does a great job listing parts and posting pictures in his blog,

I went to Ace Hardware and got chrome spacers and stainless hardware to mount mine.
Cost more than WARG's setup, but I'm a bling-a-ding.

Sorry no. When I re-do it, I'll try to make sure I take pictures of the hardware and plate before I mount it. 
I need to wash my bike and take some current pictures of my 21" front wheel, new rotors, and new pipes before I get burned at the stake.
P.S. I forgot to mention I added a 2" tank lift kit and chromed upper engine mount. :P
