Default Side Mount/Check It

Hi,
What do you think of this side mount?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

Please check it and let me know what do you think.

I'm afraid it might be a piece of junk.


Thanks.

I can't really tell how it attaches, says it has an offset bracket that fits any 1/2" hole but IMO one mount point is not enough, should have at least two or three mounting points in such a high vibration location.

Who cares what I think. Do YOU like it? That is really the only thing that matters!

I have had that same one on my bike for a year now, and not a single problem.
You can fix the hole left in the fender the same way I did mine.
