Default License Plate Mount

I just finished drawing prints for a cnc machine to cut out a new
license plate bracket for my bike. I figured i would ask a quick
question first. I plan on mounting the bracket on the bolt for
the axle and holding it just by pinching it between the nut on
the axle and the swingarm does this seem like a not so good
place to mount or is there no real problem.

Also i am a mechanical drafter with various drafting software and such
if anyone needs technical plans drawn up just let me know
i would be glad to help at no cost.
Also i would love to share the brakect design if anyone is
interested on having one for thier bike, i can change
anything that you want to make it you own!!!!!!

Ohy! Cant be scabin yourself out like that!How am I suppoed to make a little money drafting things up?!?!...that I have never done for anyone here [:@]

Anyway , as long as your running a thin material...up to 12ga Id say your safe. Id stay away from aluminum cause of cracking and general low strength.

Just being a good guy i guess. i like to see other bikes custom as well not just my own
we all ride together so why not try to have the same fair advantage to making our
bikes our own

Lotsof cops are anti-sideways plates in certain states. Also turns into a weapon the bike can use against you in a get-off.

*shrugs*

It's your bike, I'm just sayin.

I can always change it due to harrassment from Police.
I am trying to clean up the rear of the bike, by getting
rid of the fender, passenger pegs and moving the shock
stiffener up under the seat. To get the clean look this is
the only thing i could really think of for the plate.

I chopped the rear fender off and tucked my plate right behind the battery box.
Cleanest there is, but then again, the same cop that would harass you over a sideways plate would also harass you over a tucked away plate.

Your design looks neat, BTW!
