Side Mount Bracket -FIXED- *PICs*
About 50 miles into a 2 day ride my license plate bracket broke so we Tie Strapped it to the swingarm facing Sideways fur 2 days ...
after I got home took it apart to see what happened .
Not enough support , so I decided to make it Better and Add another brace
Drilled and and counter sunk for bolt for more Support
_____DONE____ I Think that will Do-It ...
........BONUS -- PIC ....

Looks good! That added steel support should do the trick. Aluminum fatigues pretty easy. Looks like the vibration made it fatigue and break.
How's your back feeling? Hopefully you are all better!

I can't believe you broke that off... were you in a turn or did it just decide to break on its own?
Looks great though!
I wanna ride with you and Dave if I can....lemme know if you guys do it.
BTW...how do you like your floorboards? I have debated adding floorboards to mine.

........ I think it was the Wind pushing on it and the Vibration , The steal support should Do-It , the Side mount its self is Aluminum .
