Now you must cut off the top piece on the plate holder. As you can see to make the plate holder fit right you have to flip it upside down before glueing it to the bracket. So flip it upside down and cut off the middle bracket like you see in the pics above and below.
Next I used a 90 degree metal elbow and bent it slightly so it matches the angle from the bracket to the plate holder. I jb welded that on first then let it dry and then jb welded the plate holder on.
The wings or whatever you want to call them that hang off the sides were to big and hung out beyond my plate so I bent them back and in to make it look a bit cleaner.
To make sure the plate holder will fit without hitting your undertail you have to glue it on a little lower on the bracket. Don't make it perfectly flush at the top or else it won't fit.
You will understand what I mean if you take the bracket and and plate holder and just hold it underneath where it is going to be mounted. The pics should also help explain this a bit.
So now jb weld all the pieces together real good. It made it easier to just apply a little bit of jb weld on the center piece and the two sides and let it dry then apply a bunch of jb weld after.
After that go and test fit it on the bike and make sure everything lines up and fits with no issues and then paint it.
