DOD decal
Hello all,
I just purchase a 2006 1200c. I am trying to find a way to mount the base decal and see alot of options. I am wondering if anyone uses any of the ones online or has any suggestions
Thanks

RE: DOD decal
I also have a 2006 1200 C. went to J&P cycles, got a "Texas" license plate/inspection sticker plate. Is about 2X 3 1/2, heavy chromed. had to trim my DOD sticker a small bit. Mounted it to an exixting bolt on the front of the right side cylinder head. Works great, and the MPs are ok with it.

RE: DOD decal
oops. you'd think being in the military I would know my right from my left. I mounted the license tag plate on the front of the LEFT cylinder (jug), using an existing bolt already there. Sorry for the screw-up.

I got a piece of Apprx. 3"X7" stainless steel and I bent it to fit next to the front brake caliper. I drilled two holes in it so that the front brake caliper bolts would hold it on. If you are really interested in this set-up, ping me off list and I will take some better measurements and pics. This set-up is clean and as far as I'm concerned, much better than the most.

RE: DOD decal
I made a plate to fit on the L/S fender support from acft grade aluminum sheet. I cut and formed the mounting tab to conform to the kink in the fender support. I then polished the hell out of it and removed the rear fender bolt and trapped it between the fender and the fork.
If you would like I can make a pattern and try to get it posted as a sticky for all to use.
