First side mount plate done!

Looks good, but just one suggestion. I'd flip it so that the plate curves around the hub, closer to the wheel. So that its closer to the bike, does that make sense?

By the way, this is just a prototype using an existing plate holder. Now that I know the mount works I will work on getting it tucked into the bike a little better.

Yes, I guess we just posted about the same time. Right now if I flip it , it hits the diff. This bracket won't work for that but the concept works fine. 8)

I like it. I would be inclined to buy one too if it was more tucked into the rear wheel. Good start though.

Looks like it's low enough so that it won't interfere with bags, when and if they arrive. That's an important consideration, IMHO.

Definitely on the right track. Now, we need an LED solution for the turns, and we're stylin'!

looks good. i agree tho, needs to be tucked in to the wheel some...

lamonster, did you use some sort of expansion bolt to secure it inside the axle?

nice job. i thought it would look wierd, but it doesn't. the pipes sticking out on the right just about balance out the look.

I can make the plate mount,,,,Hey Lamonster ,how or what did you do to get a stud or bolt in there..pics?how 2's?

Nice job, I like that side mount.

once the design is made to fit closer to the wheel.. i'm in for one for sure.

If you are not going to put saddle bags on, could you make a bracket that would take the place of the useless helmet lock which would make the plate higher and closer to the frame?? Has anyone tried this approach.

Second that, I already got rid of my helmet lock.

Make it curved and closer to the hub, and I'm in for one. Gotta love this forum. R&D @ warp speed!

I also am very curious as to how you bolted that into place???

If it's gonna go there, the inside of the plate needs to be right up against the hub.

Yep, I just wanted to make sure the mount was going to work. The next one will have a longer arm that will let me turn the plate the other way and point toward the wheel. Sending the drawings out today. 8)

I've been wondering about a plate bracket. I love this place!

Will you share how you bolted that into place? I am Curious as to if you threaded the inside of the axle or what?
