Hi folks, I have decided to go with some "side number plates" in lieu of the plastic side covers that came with our bikes.
I know that bc are making them now on the cheap but I'm more a fan of "DIY" (aka I'm a cheap ass). There are some venders on fleabay who have just the plates for about $13/each... I'm looking for some pictures on how these are are usually mounted to our bikes using the stock mounting locations. I was then going to use the pictures as visual reference to make my own brackets out of "bendy aluminum" (ruler + calculator + torch + bench vice + beer + time + patience) and then welding them to the plates as needed.
Or I'm willing to buy some if someone just so happens to have any for sale. But I'd like pictures either way! iss:iss:iss:iss:iss:
I was originally going to go for the "see through" look, but I don't really care for the empty space up underneath the seat, plus I am not particular enough to hide all the stuff under there.
