I made these tag mounts out of 1inch angle aluminum

All that work now I have to push start it :mad: becuase the starter clutch went bad.

When I got home tonight the thing had started leaking oil from the valve cover :mad:

Buy the time I'm done I'll have a new bike :thumb:

The bike looks awesome.  :thumb: How did you mount those tag mounts to your bike? I want to try and make something like that to angle my plate more.

Heather Let me know when!

The tag mounts:
Ok I removed the black cargo net brace from under the tail. I used 1/2 aluminum flat bar, bent it in to  a u shape useing the "original mounting holes for the brace" to mount the tail lights, I used the same bolts to mount the blinker mounts. Blinker mount is 1/2" flat bar just long enuff to hang under the tail Then I used the 1" angle aluminum to make the tag brakets, they mount to the back side of the blinker itself. The tag can be move from flat against the tail light, to upside down under the tail.
