heres mine...Ive since made a new sheetmetal back plate out of 1/8" steel. The one in the photos actually snapped off at the tail light after 6 years of bouncing I guess. Swung the tail light right into the chain and I damn near cut the tail light in half with the chain...haha

I bought mine cause I'm lazy. It was from british customs. Pretty decent quality, already powdercoated and all. The actually arm that mounts to the axle could of been a bit stronger IMO.

That tag mount is also the chain guard, tucks in real nice.

I think the whole assembly weighes about 5 oz.

Thanks, its an old drill bit box that I added a lock to. Holds quite a bit of tools too.

Here's mine- Towards the bottom of the page-

I'm not in love with it though- it looks good from the back- not so good from the side- just too lazy to remake it-

What is that front fender you have? Looking for something smaller like that to replace the large new one on the 2012 model...

Cheers, Mike
