I wish the factory would have remembered that. It would have saved me $40 in EDM services

Here is my newly anodized outboard bearing support. I left the bearing carrier clean. I thought polishing it and using stainless button head cap screws would look cool

I have tried it for fit Mark, and I need to modify it a bit before it will fit. I have some frame clearance issues with the plate. The endless cycle of mods because of other mods :P

i had some frame clearance issues as well. i am going to mount a bracket to the foot peg bolts. then i will bolt the baring plate to the bracket. this way i don't have to weld a bracket to the frame that will prevent me from remounting the stock sprocket cover. :)
