what does it look like from the rear? with a tag that large I think I would be dragging it in hard left turns. looks like it sticks way too far out.

Pegs would drag way before the mount would, I tried actually.
Actaully looking at fender strut mounts Dlish, I'm probably moving my signals to the detacheable sideplate bolt in the rear then maybe hanging a mount off the fender struts. But again its a liklihood in MD of getting stopped for improper display of tag with vertical mountwhich makessidemountingan issue overal. Will likely just bob the fender and leave the plate on it.

Yep, MD cops discovered they look stupid whenever they crank their heads sideways to read your plates.....Kinda like a confused dog looks at you whenever you tell it something it doesn't understand.....So they banned verticle plates.
Someone needs to tell them they look stupid all the time.[:@]

I used acheapo and modifiedit some to mount on the inside of the shock.I used a Radiantz(sp?) led up top.I'll be chopping the fender and using a Sparto as a tail/brake light......unlessI find something better.I like the side mount plates that bolt to the primary cover

Its actually inset to within 3/8" clearance of the brake rotor. Here's a rear shot:

looks good, I guess the angle of the other shot made it look lower. Real clean and tucked in nice to the rotor. My condolences on the MD tags, wow that is big. nice work!
